Sculptor Tim Burke in Detroit

There are some unusual sculptures in Detroit's Lafayette Greens by native Detroiter Tim Burke. He recycles old metal parts into unique creatures. Iron man was created from discarded parts of St Paul's Cathedral reroofing. Volunteers maintain the raised bed gardens in this beautiful 1/2 acre park on Michigan Avenue that is sponsored by Compuware.

Lafayette Greens in Detroit

Compuware planted a new urban area in downtown Detroit called Lafayette Greens. It is a gorgeus garden with beautiful raised beds and wonderful seating to relax and enjoy the beauty. Food grown there will go to Gleaners Food Bank. The yield in one summer month was over 900,000 pounds of food. It has really improved the look of the neighborhood. Great job, farm manager Gwen.
