From Gardens to Picnics

At From Gardens to Picnics, we proudly serve Metro and Greater Detroit with an online store focused on building resilient communities through accessible gardening. We offer a growing selection of microgreens, sprouting seeds, and gardening tools tailored for families, educators, and growers of all kinds. In addition to products, we provide hands-on support through consultations, workshops, and planning services. Whether you're starting a backyard garden or expanding a community space, our goal is to simplify your journey toward growing your own food. Rooted in Detroit, our work supports environmental care and healthy living through everyday practices that reconnect people with the land—and with each other. Reach out today. 

We support home gardeners, small-scale farmers, homesteaders, and wellness-driven individuals who seek more control over how they live and eat. Our offerings reflect a commitment to food security, sustainability, and independence—values shaped by our awareness of the risks posed by concentrated corporate ownership of agricultural resources. As part of our innovation, we are developing an AI-powered garden planner that teaches the 12 principles of permaculture in an intuitive and engaging way. From soil to harvest, our focus is on making these practices easy to apply and fun to explore. This is more than a business—it’s a movement grounded in purpose, education, and collective empowerment.

Our products and services are designed to inspire connection—between people, families, and the environment. Alongside high-quality seeds, we offer planning tools, eco-conscious bundles, and educational experiences that encourage a lifestyle of care, creativity, and abundance. By integrating gardening with the joy of picnicking and seasonal traditions, we aim to restore meaningful family rituals and deepen community bonds. Through partnerships with local groups like KGD and WaSati Block Club, we expand access to resources and amplify voices committed to change. Every order, every garden, and every conversation helps us grow a more balanced, biodiverse future—one household at a time.
