On September 9 and 10 Sierra Club Michigan Chapter partnered with Friends of the Rouge, National Wildlife Federation and the Marygrove Conservancy to install a nearly 590 square foot rain garden. The garden captures water from the roof of the Madame Cadillac Building’s southwest wing. This garden was installed by volunteers and funded through the Sacred Grounds program.
