About

What We Do

Peace Tree Parks Non-Profit Organization was founded in 2015 with the mission to improve the access that Detroit residents have to fresh organic produce. To accomplish this we have created two programs, our residential garden and our community garden program. We encourage community members of all ages to join us as partners, sponsors, or volunteers. We’d love to put a garden in your backyard!

COMMUNITY GARDEN

Our community garden program is geared toward supporting residents in close proximity to our community garden locations to provide a space to go to for peace, tranquility, and fresh organic produce. Through the help of our community partners and volunteers, we are able to continuously develop and maintain our gardens for the community to enjoy. We encourage community members of all ages to come out and volunteer!
