A burst of sunflowers to brighten up Detroit's Woodward Avenue

Don’t underestimate the impact of flower power.

That’s the message of a local group of volunteers who plan to transform a 2-mile stretch along Woodward Avenue in Detroit into an oasis sporting sunflowers.

Planting is to begin in May for the Sunflowers on Woodward project, which is sponsored by the Woodward Avenue Action Association. The association is made up of local businesses and residents near Palmer Park and are dedicated to rejuvenating Woodward between McNichols and 8 Mile roads.

Three towns. Three citizen philanthropists. All for Detroit.

Here at Detroit4Detroit, we know it’s more than Ford, General Motors and Chrysler that drive the Motor City.

It’s the citizens and the passion they bring to the city they love.

This is a story of three Detroiters. They have never met, but they are now all connected through their Detroit4Detroit projects to support the Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program (DAPCEP) and their commitment to education. One grew up and lives within 8 mile. One is a local from the ‘burbs. And, the third is a Detroit “expat” currently living in Washington D.C. They’ve each decided to use their connection to the city in a powerful way.
