What beautiful weather! Come take a stroll at our gardens!
Yesterday and this morning there are many hummers darting around and seeming to have some fun! We were seeing 5 or 6 at a time! Such fun and such a fleeting time. Soon they will be gone.
💜💛💜
They love the Black & Blue Salvia patch , by the zinnias in front of the pavilion.
The gardens are always open to the public during daylight.

A Goldenrod for every condition!
💛💛💛
An essential plant to help the pollinators, birds and wildlife. Goldenrods are considered Keystone species. The genus is Solidago and it supports over 120 species of moths and butterflies. Solidagos support around 42 species of Specialist Bees. These bees rely on the pollen from goldenrods to raise their larva. These specialist bees evolved with the plant which is essential for their existence.
💛💛💛
There are somewhere between 22 and 27 different goldenrods to chose from in Michigan.
Photo 1 - Solidago rugosa, Fireworks Goldenrod, Full Sun
2 - Solidago caesia, Bluestemmed Goldenrod, Full sun to full shade
3 - Solidago speciosa, Showy Goldenrod, Full sun to partial shade
4 - Solidago flexicaulis, Zig Zag goldenrod, Partial Shade to full shade
And no worries about the pollen, whch does not cause allergies. The pollen on goldenrod is very sticky. The culprit this time of year is dreaded Ragweed.

Dahlia parade. Finally!
🌸🌸🌸
Dahlia growers across the country experienced a different growing season in 2025. In some areas the extended high heat impacted the blooms. Here in the Midwest to the northeast, we experienced an extended cool down at the most inopportune time. With temperatures improving we are finally seeing blooms.
💜💜💜
Here is today's line up -
Edge of Joy - Single flowered form
Creme de Cassis - Waterlily form
Evanah - Informal Decorative
Que Sera - Anemone form

The mood was in a word - joyful!
Great music from Demetrius Thomas and his Steel-Tongue Drums and our new friends from Jumbotron playing Rock & Roll!

Another shoutout to the Dahlia Fest Volunteers! For the first time we actually had too many! But many hands make like work is true!
A heartfelt thank you to Tom's sister Barbara who traveled from NY state to help us with the Fest. Little did she know she would be baking the Carrot Cake! 🥕

Join Us in a Vision

Detroit Abloom is a cut flower farm and nonprofit organization. The revenue generated from our flowers and services allows us to provide part time work and to continue growing at the farm.

In 2015 we acquired 9 vacant lots from the Detroit land bank Authority, and since then, added 6 more lots to make a total of 15 in the middle of a residential neighborhood, the 200 block of Manistique and Ashland. In just 3 years, we (Nancy and Tom), with the help of friends and volunteers, turned the lots into an attractive urban oasis, learned how to grow over 100 varieties of flowering plants and developed a comprehensive floral service business. We see a big future in using cut flower farming as a viable way to turn vacant land (much of it blighted) into beautiful and productive landscapes. We also thrive to protect native species of pollinating insects and have partnered with bees in the D to turn Detroit Abloom into an educational center. This year we will start a native plant nursery and build a butterfly house to help the Monarch butterfly population. And we LOVE volunteers!
