last summer.
"It's very educational to me:' she
said. "They tell me what to do from
task to task, and let me take breaks
when it's hot:' When she's done with her
two-and-a-half-hour shift, Davis takes
produce from the garden back to her
house, which her roommates appreci-
ate.
The program for the disabled was
started with a grant from the Michigan
Disabilities Rights Coalition. Sharon
Berke of Huntington Woods, a special
education teacher at Berkley High
School, has been coordinating the spe-
cial needs volunteers since the program
started.
"We have a goal of accessibility and
inclusion:' Berke said.
Greenwood says he hopes he can
eventually turn Everyone's Garden over
to the community and move on to new
projects.
He hopes to start another garden on
a property where his organization can
also have an education center for year-
round programming. They're looking
for space in Pontiac.

Everyone's Garden is funded primar-
ily by a community-supported agri-
culture (CSA) program. Twenty local
residents pay $275 apiece each season
for 16 bags of produce, which they pick
up weekly.
The Neighborhood Garden Coalition
also holds occasional fundraisers,
including a "Cellos Unleashed" concert
held Aug. 15 at the Birmingham Temple
in Farmington Hills.
The garden's only paid staff is Mike
Sikmahnov, 23, of Pontiac, who works
part time as farm manager. Sikmahnov
was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan,
and came to Detroit with his parents
in 1999. He's a senior at Oakland
University, studying biology and envi-
ronmental science.
Sikmahnov started working for the
garden group after he returned from a
Birthright trip to Israel last December
(see sidebar on page 8).
Greenwood said he hopes
Neighborhood Garden Coalition can
secure some grants to hire a horticul-
tural therapist and expand the special
needs programs.
