Detroit Students Grow Produce for Award-Winning Restaurants

Students at Detroit’s Drew Transition Center are cultivating more than just fresh produce—they’re building skills, confidence, and career pathways through the school’s horticulture program. The initiative empowers young people with developmental disabilities to grow fruits and vegetables that are now being featured in some of the city’s award-winning restaurants. As Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month comes to a close, the program stands as a powerful example of how hands-on education and community partnerships can plant lasting seeds for success.
