What a way to wrap up Flower Day! 🌸🌼

Districts 6 and 7 showed up and showed out for the final Motor City Makeover Flower Day of the season. With beautiful weather, incredible volunteers, and thousands of flowers distributed, Detroit residents came together to help keep our neighborhoods clean, vibrant, and beautiful.

A special thank you to , our presenting sponsor, and to every resident, volunteer, community partner, and City employee who helped make Motor City Makeover 365 a success.

But remember—this was just the kickoff. 💪🏾🌱

Motor City Makeover 365 is a year-long commitment to beautifying our city, reducing blight, and building pride in every neighborhood. The flowers may be planted, but the work continues all year long.

Together, we’re making Detroit bloom—365 days a year. 🌷🏡✨
