Keep Growing Detroit helps communities flourish
Posted on: May 19th, 2013 by Amy Lynn Smith
While I was at TEDMED, I had the pleasure of hearing a presentation by Ashley Atkinson, co-director of Keep Growing Detroit.
I was thrilled to see a voice from Detroit represented among international leaders in health and medicine — and telling a good-news story at that.
The work this organization does isn’t just turning abandoned lots into community gardens. It’s helping neighborhoods grow stronger and more united.
Read the post I wrote about Keep Growing Detroit for Eclectablog.
