Grandmont Spring Planting & Cleanup Event, Huge Success!

A very special and BIG thank you to over 30 volunteers who participated in our Spring Beautification and Cleanup at Ramsay Park which coincided with Motor City Makeover on Saturday, May 1st. We had a fantastic event with families and friends from across the Grandmont Community picking up debris, raking leaves, planting flowers and more. Thank you to Congresswoman Tlaib and Councilman Tate for joining us as well!

We are truly appreciative to our amazing Grandmont neighbors and friends for making the cleanup successful and for helping keep Grandmont Beautiful! Stay tuned for more beautification projects happening this year!

Member: Keep Growing Detroit / Garden Resource Program

Who and What are We?

The Grandmont Rosedale Community Garden was established in 2009 by residents – and nearby friends - of the Grandmont and Rosedale neighborhoods in northwest Detroit. Start up costs for raised beds, fencing, tool etc. were provided by a grants funds that were received by the Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation. Additional grants and donations for infrastructure improvements have been received as well. Over the years, a variety of volunteers (Detroit Project Day and others) have assisted with projects including replacing/ adding raised beds and fencing.

Anyone who is interested and able to contribute to the work of maintaining the garden is invited to “join” us; There is no formal membership, no gardening experience is necessary.

This is a collaborative, community effort. Everyone shares in the work and everyone benefits from the harvest.
