A team of 10 volunteers from Detroit Synergy helped remove the debris, till the soil and plant the trees; Redford Cement Co. and the WARM Training Center donated reused construction materials and a number of artists selected by Matthew Naimi created the outdoor exhibit space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Illustrations courtesy of Recycle Here! and the WARM Training Center<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Veronica Grecu, Associate Editor<br \/>\nRevitalization and redevelopment seem to be the magic words in Detroit!
