You can and will have a gorgeous garden in MI, pp! Lots of beautiful things love the hard winters and hot summers: Lilacs, peonies, iris... And great soil, so vegetables do wonderfully. Big vegetable gardens are commonplace there.

Aaack! we are moving to East Lansing! Please tell me there is gardening hope -- for i am freaking out. It's like Zone 10 or something.
I grew up in Michigan. My mother and grandmother always had the most beautiful gardens. Truly. It's not Alaska!
Thank you PP! -- this helps.

They grow here. There used to be a lovely big beech grove on the Johns Hopkins Homewood campus in Baltimore, but I think the trees got cut down to make room for another building.

I have a question for the citrus growers - the Californian and the lemon and lime grower. What care do the citrus need during the fall and winter? How much light, how many hours? Do you recommend a plant light for them?
Check out this website. Great plants and information on growing them

I got my trees from fourwindsgrowers.com and have been so happy with them I've bought about 5 more as gifts for people.
In the fall/winter, I place my trees directly in front of a south-facing window and I water them WAY less than I do when they're outside. (Once a week or less.) I've never used a light but suspect my lemon (I have a Meyer) would like one. The lime seems not to need one.
Aspiring Meyer lemon plant grower here. Thanks for all of this info! (This forum is great).
