Gardens in Birmingham and Bloomfield Township are featured this year on the 8th Annual Garden Cruise, a tour of spectacular gardens in Metro Detroit that support The Greening of Detroit, a nonprofit urban forestry program.

The tour takes place from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Sunday, July 19, rain or shine. Tickets are $35 per person for the tour only, or $50 per person for the tour and a cocktail reception. Tickets may be purchased In-person at presenting sponsor Detroit Garden Works, by phone with a credit card at (248) 335-8089, or online via Eventbrite (additional fees apply).

The Garden Cruise is a tour of gardens designed, planted and/or inspired by Deborah Silver. The landscapes vary in style and approach, but all reflect an ownership for whom the beauty of a garden is an important part of life.

The serious mission behind the tour is to foster the idea of environmental stewardship, one The Greening of Detroit has embraced since its inception. Since its beginning, The Garden Cruise has raised more than $83,000 to support the project which plants, teaches, and leads the effort toward a greener Detroit.

All proceeds from the event go directly to the Greening of Detroit.
