The Detroit suburb of West Bloomfield is home to Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital, which recently made news headlines nationwide with the opening of its new million-dollar organic greenhouse and garden, which is believed to be the first of its kind in the United States. Boasting five types of kale, 23 kinds of heirloom tomatoes, strawberry plants, microgreens, and five varieties each of squash, eggplant, hot and sweet peppers, basil and more, the greenhouse features an extensive hydroponics system and an exquisite lobby for entertaining, teaching kids and hosting events.

 

The greenhouse’s manager and gardener, Michelle Lutz, sat down for an interview with AltHealthWORKS.com to discuss how the project began, the state of hospital food in America, and what the natural health community can do to affect change in other parts of the country.
