Joe Reilly is a singer/songwriter, social worker, and Michigan educator who writes songs from his heart. The Italian, Irish, and Native American (Cherokee) singer draws from his children’s albums of environmental and community songs in this concert for families. This performance will also feature musicians Mark Stone and Lesley-Anne Stone. After the performance, families are invited to stay for a hands-on activity led by Growing Hope.

Make a Seed Ball with Growing Hope

Get your hands dirty for a greener planet! Join us after the concert for a hands-on workshop to create your own “seed balls”—small, nutrient-dense balls of clay, soil, and native seeds designed to sprout into wildflowers wherever they land. Native plants help support pollinators and our local ecosystems, and are a great way to celebrate Earth Day! We will also have free vegetable, herb, and flower seeds from the Growing Hope Seed Library for participants to take home.
