how does your garden grow?

it may not be eden exactly, but there's plenty of garden in the d these days.

GREEN RECOVERY PROJECT
this is a work effort to engage river rouge residents who are disabled or in addiction recovery with other community members through vegetable gardening. it's in the early phases - i was helping build raised beds last friday - but i'm looking forward to starting a "grow it, eat it, love it" group with our teenage clients later this summer.

ART CENTER COMMUNITY GARDEN
this is the new fancy-pants garden around the corner from my digs. and home to my 8x12' garden plot rental, which i will cultivating with leslie and neighbor john this year. with any luck, we'll learn a few things, eat some fresh produce, and (fingers-crossed) be ready to sell at eastern market's "grown in detroit" stand next season.

GEORGIA STREET COMMUNITY COLLECTIVE
this is why i love detroit; every time i leave my apartment i realize i have a long way to grow.
