This sounds like a really cool technology, a bit like French drain that goes vertical instead of horizontal, is that right? I take it the water gets in somehow and makes its way to the bottom?
Thanks Teri Wertman
Food Tourism Take a self-guided tour of some of metro Deroit's fabulous food sites
Hope Takes Root Wabash and Temple Streets, Detroit: Hope Takes Root is one of the oldest gardens in its area. With only five current members, they have continued to maintain a vast vegetable garden and an orchard. Crops include radishes, kale, nuts and much more. People from the neighborhood are welcome to pick fruit and walk through the garden without any charge. Cathy Snygg, who helps manage the garden, says thy are always looking for volunteers to help. Each year, the Garden Resource Program takes a tour of the garden, bringing food and agriculture enthusiasts. But you can find some of Hope Takes Root's healthy goodies at the Grown in Detroit table at the Eastern Market as well. Snygg says, "It's a great garden, This time of year is not the best time, as we're getting ready for winter, but if people want to come, I'd be happy to welcome anybody." Volunteers usually work in the garden 11a.m. - 2 p.m. Sundays, depending on the weather. - YB

Herbalist Jim McDonald writes on his website herbcraft.org: "Gary Wanttaja has the best selection of dried bulk herbs anywhere around, and is probably one of the wisest plant people I know of, possessed of admirable knowledge and a singular sense of humor. Nature's Products is located in Detroit at 20020 Conant (minutes from I-75 & 8 Mile Road); give him a ring at (313) 891-3900 for current hours."
The saying once attributed to GM may now hold for China, at least when it comes to transforming transportation. What’s good for China may be good for the world.
To me, Avalon Bakery represents the very heart of an evolving & sustainable Detroit. Formed with community & ecological awareness, this is a place where people meet and are nurtured. Great smells waft from the baked goods made with organic flours, healthy soups, the fair trade coffee...and much more... in a charming old store front setting in walking distance of Wayne State Campus, the Art, Historical & African American Museums....
I've been a loyal fan of Jodi Bee Honey products for years. I usually buy as much as I can during the RenFest season, but now my daughter lives in Clarkston and I can get anything year-round. Great quality honey and amazing selection of flavors. Their candles burn clean and the honey sticks are great for kids or dogs (emergency kits).
My experience at Hamsa Yoga has lead me along a path to live a healthier lifestyle. The teachers are educated and the yoga classes are conducive to individuals specific needs. There is a sense of community and love at Hamsa that makes it a beautiful place to spend time.
Sadly MBS is closed. From their website: Official Update: After much consideration we regret to inform our loyal fans that Mind Body & Spirits will not be reopening for service as originally planned. At this time we are dedicating our resources towards the the expansion of our brands throughout Michigan and beyond. We anticipate updating you on our progress shortly.
This is a really fun place to visit for all ages ! Lots of animals, beautiful traditional buildings and barns, a farm museum, a "green design" Kids Cottage with a thatched roof, picnic area and things to plan on and with, a large garden.... Don't miss this.
This is an awesome store ! I've been there once, and plan to go back often. The building is an old mission-style home - bright and sunny, with beautiful dark wood trim. Products are displayed in a very attractive way, and even feature the forged steel artwork of local artist, Tom Hoyt of Ancient-gallery.blogspot.com. Upstairs there are some health offices and a community room where presentations can be made.
Simple Organics provides a great atmosphere, and while I was there I ran into people I knew and made a number of good connections. Troy Farwell, the co-owner is very knowledgeable in health and food and it shows in the quality of products that are carried and service received.
I am now also part of the "food buying club", so I can choose organic food and products in bulk for a good discount from an extensive catalog! Sincerely, Deanne Bednar
The 2010 version opened last week. Thursday afternoons, 3PM to 8PM, I think. It's a small market, one block, maybe 30 or so vendors. Nice folks, nice produce.
