Farm & Garden's Flower Therapy program celebrates our wonderful flower vendors!


For decades, dedicated Farm & Garden member volunteers have provided flower therapy sessions at Mott Children's Hospital, and now the Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital as well. Flower Therapy is one of our most treasured service programs, bringing the power of flowers to engage and cheer those facing health challenges. Even during the pandemic, members pivoted to creating small bouquets for delivery to local organizations such as Alpha House, Safe House, and Ronald McDonald House.


None of this would be possible, however, without the generous support of local florists and stores who supply the bright blooms. Ann Arbor Farm & Garden thanks you!

Huron River Day May 18 offers fun activities for all ages


Mark your calendar for Huron River Day on Sunday, May 18, noon-4 p.m. at Gallup Park (3000 Fuller Road). This free, family-friendly event is a celebration of the Huron River and all it has to offer — now in its 45th year, thanks to support from the DTE Foundation and the Bank of Ann Arbor.


You can look forward to hands-on activities, trying your hand at fishing, see live animals from Leslie Science & Nature Center (located inside the meeting room at Gallup Park), participate in the Eco-Challenge to win prizes and be sure to visit all the local eco-friendly exhibitor tables. Ann Arbor’s own Laith Al-Saadi — finalist from Season 10 of NBC’s “The Voice”— will be performing twice (1 p.m. and again at 2:30 p.m.) bringing his signature blend of blues, soul and classic rock to the park!
