This garden will be a second home for Detroiters - a place where anyone can come for community, heali
Presently, we are focusing on developing our Community Supportive Agriculture (CSA) program. We believe that everyone's birthright is to have the healthiest food possible. Therefore, all of our crops are heirlooms (no hybrids) that are organically grown and cultivated with love and devotion. We welcome you to join us in our vision by becoming one of our CSA members, helping us in the gardens, or by contacting us.

We will soon stop posting on this page. We changed the name our farm from Vedic Village Educational Gardens - to The Garden Detroit about a year ago! Facebook rules do not allow a group to make a name change. We started the new page and have been maintaining both pages. So if you see an invitation to join The Garden Detroit page please say YES!
Thank you from Tom Milano and Nancy Weigandt

CSA 2015 The Garden Week #16, 9 23 15 Description
We're having our third annual The Garden Detroit Harvest Festival on the 20th from noon till 5pm. We're looking for musicians who may like to place for donations. Any saxophone players or guitarists out there? We're expecting around 120-150 generous people to attend and the street musician who was going to play that day, all of a sudden can't make it.

Monarch Update! Number 3 emerged this morning. The chrysalis is a light green until about 12 hours before emergence. It then turns darker and darker and you can start to see the orange monarch wing. The following pictures show the chrysalis minutes before the monarch started to emerge. The second picture is within a minute after emergence. Its been a tough day for this baby as it is too cold for flight. We are hoping he survives.

We woke up to a miracle today! A monarch emerged from one of the 3 chrysalis's we brought home from The Garden. We brought them home to protect them from any of the natural dangers they face in the chrysalis form. This particular one was found last Saturday by the volunteers from the Shrine Royal Oak. It was hanging under a black cherry tomato! After it emerged it landed on Tom's hat. It's currently enjoying the sun on our porch. It needs at least 80 degrees before it will be able to fly and procure nectar, become strong and eventually fly to Mexico!
