Music and Art in the Gardens- Week 1: Major Dudes, a Steely Dan Tribute Band

Music & Art in the Gardens, the Taylor Conservatory & Botanical Gardens’ popular Wednesday evening concert series, will return this summer with eight dates starting June 7. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. at the conservatory, located at 22314 Northline Road, just east of the Heritage Park Petting Farm. Tickets are $5 at the gate with no pre-registration required. Season passes are available (as well as concert sponsorships). Lawn chairs and blankets are recommended. The conservatory is always seeking fine artists to display their work and food truck vendors to support the series. The season kicks off with one of the concert series’ most popular acts, Major Dudes, a Steely Dan Tribute Band. The group was named the Detroit Music Awards tribute band winners in 2018, 2020 and 2022. They have been playing across Michigan since 2015.

Plarning-Mats for the Needy

Plarning is making yarn from out of plastic strips (plarn) cut from grocery bags. The strips are crocheted into 3'x6' mats that are distributed to the homeless. The mats are lightweight, washable, bug resistant and also benefit our environment by putting the plastic bags to good use instead of our landfills. Approximately 700-1000 bags are used to complete one mat. This group meets every Wednesday from 9:30 - 11:30 am. We always need volunteers to sort, cut or crochet. If this interests you, why not join in and help provide a means for a needy cause and pass a good deed forward. We'd love to have you!
