General Motors is unveiling Cadillac Urban Gardens on Merritt, a community project where 250 shipping crates from Orion Assembly – home of the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic – are converted into raised garden beds. The once-abandoned southwest Detroit parking lot will now benefit nearby residents, providing them nutritious and locally grown food.
