The Huckleberry Explorers Club Fall Fundraiser II

Happy Autumn, dear Huckleberry friends! What a triumphant and inspiring year we had here at The Huckleberry Explorers Club.

The opening of our microcinema was an event celebrated by all who enjoy films both terrible and outrageously pretentious. We also used this cozy space for our evening of Zen-inspired works that focused on visiting filmmaker Benjamin Greené.

And if that weren't enough, we were honored to participate in local musician/composer/impresario Michael Malis' Other Tones series, which included performances of experimental and new music in our museum and garden. How great.

But mostly we've been continuing to make a space of beauty and wonder here in Detroit, free and open to all, with our aforementioned Museum and General Store, where you can always contemplate the fragile nature of the material world or just enjoy a free cup of coffee and some conversation.

And of course, our delightful garden, providing joy and food to the neighborhood, and which, thanks to your support of 2022, has become more delightful than ever, especially with the addition of our new bird-seducing pond! (Please see the below video and note that the pond looks even better now than when I filmed this video in July).

And our next new project, you ask? Well, I shall answer and say that this winter, we will begin the heartbreaking and backbreaking but great and important job of clearing decades of dumping from the mini-forest immediately behind the garden. This job will require much labor and supplies, but will support the many animals and birds already living in this forest. It is our intention to plant a greater diversity of trees as well as create walking paths that will connect our garden through the forest and to a community greenspace being created by Prince Concepts.

Friends, we asked for your support last year and it was so appreciated. Now, we need your help again. Any amount helps! $3 buys someone a cup of coffee. $100 plants a tree. $300 pays a neighborhood friend to help us clean the forest.

Please help us to continue our efforts here in this most magnificent city of Detroit.
