Currently, Grosse
Pointe
Park
is home to two community gardens.
Grayton
Gardens,
founded in 2009, is located at Mack and Grayton and is shared by 11
families that live on the block.
The Backyard, established in 2010,
stands at Mack and Wayburn.
This year, 47 families joined The
Backyard.
With hard work
and dedication, our friendly neighbors have transformed unused city
property into garden oases in the Park and have enjoyed fresh,
local, organically
grown produce as well as a stronger sense of community because of
it.
For
