✨THANK YOU for joining us 2026 Keep Growing Detroit Annual Farm & Garden Tour! The stories behind Detroit’s farms and gardens are at the heart of this tour. Across this year’s sold out tour routes, we explored a few of the many ways Detroiters are transforming land, growing food, restoring ecosystems, creating beauty, and building community. From pollinator habitats and urban reforestation to rain gardens, raised-bed farms, neighborhood gardens, and spaces centered on Indigenous crops, every stop had its own story to tell. We are especially grateful to all of our tour hosts and land stewards who welcomed us into their spaces and shared not only what they grow, but why they grow.
THANK YOU to the land stewards of each route:
🚌Westside Bus Tour: Brightmoor Botanical Garden, MSU Detroit Partnership for Food, Learning and Innovation, Cadillac Urban Gardens
🚌Eastside Bus Tour: Marjorie Street Garden, Little Detroit Community Garden, Goethe Garden.
🚲Bike Tour: Circle Forest, Land Back Garden, Reverie Garden
And, of course, we ended the evening the KGD way—around good food and good music. THANK YOU to Vamonos, Rose’s, and Detroit Food Academy for delicious bites featuring produce from the farm. And a special shout out to DJ Dig, who provided the soundtrack for the evening and kept the vibe going as we gathered back at the KGD Farm. Hope you can join us for next year’s tour!
