Marilyn Griffin, owner and founder

Griffin Gardens is a garden and community space located on Detroit’s northwest side. In 2020, the garden was created by Marilyn Griffin and her family on what was once 5 vacant lots with a goal of bringing beauty to the neighborhood. Over the last several years it has blossomed into a place where people in the immediate neighborhood and abroad can gather, build community, and learn ways to keep themselves and their environment healthy.

Griffin Gardens offers a number of wellness classes, workshops, and events all while being surrounded by nature. Come visit!
