Please join us for the ribbon cutting! This project has been years in the planning and funding and will truly be a heartwarming experience to honor a man so important to the history of Macomb. Macomb Beautiful has planted a small plot with flowers at the entrance and has provided the planting of three trees using money from the Madge Howe Cooper memorial fund.

Emily has participated in our Pollinator Pocket Garden program and proudly shows off the pollinator garden that she has created. She chose to fence in the space but you can see the plants peaking through and by summer's end will tower above. We love having another space with our goal to create a pollinator byway going through Macomb. Thanks Emily!

Please join us as we celebrate the beautiful gardens on the 2026 MBA Garden Walk! What a perfect way to close out Macomb's Heritage Days on Sunday the 28th from 10:00-2:00! Tickets are available at the Amtrak Train Station, Wesley Village Gardens, and all of the other gardens.

The homeowners have been working and creating their lovely spaces for over a year! All of these gardens are unique and stunning with a wide array of flowers and landscaping. The gardens will have some surprises for you too...some sweet...some lyrical! This event promises to be spectacular, so invite some friends and keep cool in shady surroundings of these lovely homes.

See you there!
