Cadillac Urban Gardens, is a one-acre urban garden located in Mexicantown, Southwest Detroit on the former grounds of the Cadillac Clark Street Plant’s Executive parking lot.
In 2012 as a community collaboration between Southwest Detroit Environmental Vision (SDEV), the Ideal Group, General Motors (GM), residents, non-profits, businesses, schools, and other local community organizations, CUG was developed with and for the community in mind. Since 2012 we have been able to repurpose 331 shipping containers from GM and utilize them as our raised beds to grow fresh produce the community can harvest without cost.
In 2023, staff and community of the garden branched off to establish Cadillac Organization as an independent 501c(3) organization.
