Hello garden friends!
It’s been a hot second since we have been in touch with you. It has been a busy and challenging season so far but we are still thankful for the birds and the bees (and the cats) and all things green under the lovely summer sun. Our new farmstand just opened downtown last week, and Summer Soul Festival is this Saturday. Please come visit us!
Garden Party this Saturday 8/24: Summer Soul Festival
Support local artists and vendors while enjoying a concert in our beautiful flower garden with a view of the Detroit skyline. Tickets are available on Eventbrite.

Cats, we got’em!
So far this summer we have trapped fixed, vaccinated, and ear-tipped three more neighborhood cats (Socks, OJ, and Truffles). To support our TNR efforts to keep our outdoor cat population safe, healthy, and under control, please consider donating to our Feline Fund. Any help is very appreciated, MEOW.
Thanks for reading!

Rooted in Waawiyatanong (Detroit), Featherstone Garden is a femme and minority owned business that is dedicated to land stewardship and growing produce year-round for neighbors and local restaurants. As an all-natural operation, the garden intercrops veggies, herbs, fungi, and flowers that complement each other as companions, nurture soil and beneficial insects, and contribute to a healthy urban ecosystem. At both their downtown and MorningSide locations, Featherstone offers space for the community to enjoy the healing benefits of gardening and consuming plant and fungi-forward foods.
