RE: Detroit gardens

Pat,

You have to get to the Southfield Senior Citizen Community Gardens in
Detroit, MI ( located at the Mary Thompson Farmhouse at 25630 Evergreen.)
Over 300 area senior citizens donate their time and labor to grow food for
the hungry and teach youngsters about the joys of community involvement.
This was a John Deere award winner this year - here's the link from "City
Farmer": http://www.cityfarmer.org/commgardennews.html

I will be in Detroit this weekend. Is there anyone I could contact to tour
community garden sites there?

(I may have asked this question once but deleted the reply in a fit of
in-box cleaning).

Thank you.
