DETROIT AGRICULTURE NETWORK DETROIT AGRICULTURE NETWORK ANNUAL GARDEN TOUR
The Detroit Agriculture Network's mission is to promote and foster urban agriculture and the sustainable use and appreciation of urban natural resources. We encourage the establishment of resource support networks, experiential education opportunities for youth and their families and collaborations that advance urban food security, good nutrition, healthy land, and communities.

URBAN GARDENING PROGRAMS

The Detroit Agriculture Network works in collaboration with the Greening of Detroit, Earthworks Capuchin Soup Kitchen and Michigan State University Extension to support urban gardening initiatives and programs in the city.

DETROIT AGRICULTURE NETWORK ANNUAL GARDEN TOUR

 Every August, the Detroit Agriculture Network hosts an annual tour of urban gardens in Detroit, featuring gardens which participate in the Detroit Garden Resource Program. In 2006, over 300 Detroit residents, gardeners and supporters from all over metro Detroit and Michigan came to share evening touring these great urban gardens.
