A Garden right in the heart of Detroit with Sue Hudnut

This show takes a look at some of the aspects of Detroit's green environment. Our guest is Sue Hudnut, who works for the Greening of Detroit (link to their website). It is a not for profit organisation which has played a significant role in panting tens of thousands of trees right across Detroit. As well as making a significant positive impact on Detroit's ecology it's programmes also encompass adult job creation through training programmes and involving young people in environmental work through its Youth Green Corps Leadership. It also looks after beautiful green spaces such as Lafayette Greens which lies right at the heart of downtown Detroit. 

Sue looks after the beautiful garden, which is a gorgeous green space for people to sit and socialise. During the summer, Sue organises yoga classes and meditation sessions.  

In this show, we talk about the gardens, the nature of Detroit's green environment and how Sue made a dramatic career change moving from the international corporate world to following her lifelong dream.
