Healing Detroit One Garden at a Time

In this edition of Steep Your Soul, we're going green with social activist Riet Schumack and her husband, Mark. They're spearheading a grassroots youth gardening movement to help rebuild Brightmoor, a struggling neighborhood on Detroit's northwest side. Years ago, Brightmoor was ridden with crime and on the brink of abandonment. Today, they're proving that growth and transformation are possible, one garden at a time.
