Located on about three acres in a Detroit neighborhood, the agrihood features a two-acre urban garden, a 200-tree fruit orchard, a children’s sensory garden and more. The gardens produce fresh and free produce to about 2,000 households in the area. BASF and Sustainable Brands, a global community of business innovators, are working to restore a three-story vacant building across from the urban garden into a Community Resource Center. GM will help outfit this building, with purposeful spaces designed by Herman Miller for collaboration and community.
