Livonia Garden Club Plant Sharing Day

Join the Livonia Garden Club for their annual plant sharing at 9-10 a.m. on Saturday, May 17, in the Special Events Parking Lot at Greenmead. Everyone is welcome to come and share perennials, annual seeds, houseplants and even pots, tags, and yard art. There is no charge. The event is a "plant sharing" and not a "plant exchange." Everyone is encouraged to come and take plants whether or not they have anything to share. The club asks people bringing items to share to pot them (plastic pots, bags, etc.) and label, if possible.

Garden Club members will assist with plant identification for people bringing in "unknown" plants from their yards. The plants will be placed on various tables for "sun," "shade," "houseplants," etc. with the assistance of Livonia Garden Club members. There will also be a table for free garden-related items. For more information, please call (734) 679-2527.

The Special Events Parking Lot can be accessed from Newburgh Road. Visit our calendar event to find a map!

Livonia Senior Wellness Center being constructed

#RecreatingTheRec

As the exterior walls for both the new Livonia Senior Wellness Center and new West Gym stand tall, construction crews are working on some interior elements while fending off the cold weather. New roofs and doorways have been appearing. Interior renderings are available at Livonia.gov/1899.

The Main Gyms will close in 2025 once the new West Gym is complete. The full project is expected to be completed in December 2025. You can visit LivoniaBuilt.org to see the specific timeline for each phase. For more details, check out our Frequently Asked Questions.

Stay up to date on construction at the Kirksey Recreation Center and Livonia Senior Wellness Center at LivoniaBuilt.org. You've already subscribed to this e-newsletter, so make sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and bookmark the website for all the latest details.
