Community revitalization
from the ground up
Our journey has taken us…
We formed our nonprofit in 2015 as a cut-flower farm. Through our love of nature and deep respect for pollinators we started a native plant nursery to promote native plant growth beyond our gardens. From there, the pandemic gave us the opportunity to offer a safe place for people to gather outside and our Wellness Garden was born!
Wellness Garden
Over the years, Detroit Abloom has grown into becoming a Wellness Garden, the first of its kind in Metro-Detroit. Working with other health-minded people who specialize in teaching different healing practices, we offer a variety of classes and workshops during our May to November season. These include weekly yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, Sound Bath Meditation, Belly Dance, spiritual philosophy, Food is Medicine and flower workshops, and much more.
Native Plants & Gardens
Come stroll through our Sanctuary Gardens and Pond. Visit our online shop to purchase native plants for your garden! When you grow plants that originated where you live, you get to see up close and personal how those plants have co-evolved with pollinators! It is a fascinating experience! Our gardens are open to the public during daylight hours! Come, enjoy a stroll!
Cut Flower Farm
We started Detroit Abloom as a Cut-Flower Farm with a Kresge Grant. While we have journeyed into other areas, flower farming is our roots. We love to grow sustainable, no spray flowers. From Ranunculus and Tulips in April until the Dahlias are finished at the first hard frost! Our 2024 Summer Bouquet Share is sold out and we are not able to offer a Spring Share due to weather constraints. However we will have a limited supply of Ranunculus and peony tulips available. These will be sold in the Bouquet Shop based on availability during April & May for pickup at our house/headquarters - 313 Newport St.
