Brilliant Detroit 2026 Rain Garden Installation Project

Thanks to a recent grant, we're installing a rain garden at our Boynton, Detroit location on Tuesday, September 15th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and we're inviting volunteer groups throughout the day to help plant!

The garden will feature 250+ native plants, which will create a diverse habitat for pollinators and wildlife while also improving our water quality and helping manage stormwater runoff.

We'd love your support in helping our green spaces bloom into a beautiful community gathering place where our Brilliant families can connect with nature, spend time together, and inspire our youth through hands-on environmental stewardship. This is a full-day project, with the opportunity for flexible volunteer shifts between the building of the rain garden’s foundation, adding compost, and planting the native plants.

Whether you’re an experienced gardener or simply enjoy creating something beautiful, we’d be grateful for your support in helping us create a thriving community rain garden!
