"Minimal Risk Pesticides", You Say?

Garden Tour

Marc is an enthusiastic breeder and collector of hostas – many, many hostas.  His Bloomfield Hills gardens feature over 1,000 different varieties, many of which he’s hybridized.  The 1+ acre gardens also include many perennials, shrubs and trees. The property backs up to the Franklin Branch of the Rouge River and includes a large koi pond and a waterfall.  To protect his deer-loving plants, there’s an 8-foot fence that blends seamlessly into the landscape.  Marc has also found a small patch of sun to grow vegetables like tomatoes.
