Meet OJ, the newest addition to our MorningSide feline colony. He started showing up at our garden in May, and thanks to our intern Simone from the Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund, he is fixed and vaccinated. He’s a sweet sweetie and gets along well with Chili, Bean, Ginger and Marigold.
If you’re interested in helping to feed our community cat colony through the winter, please email: annie@featherstonegarden.com

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.
