Simply doing yard maintenance on someone else's property does not give them notice that your actions are "hostile" and therefore they have no reason to sue you and therefore the statute of limitations has never started for evicting you as a trespasser and therefore you have no claim to it.

Even if you plant shrubs, how do they know it isn't a "gift"?

Only by "possessing" the property without permission might you have a claim (if you can prove it meets all of the criteria), and possession is typically indicated by erection of a fence or signs, incessant trespassing, or other means to exclude the rightful owners from the use of their property, any of which would get you sued. If they know (or should know) of your adverse possession and do nothing about it, you could acquire rights to it, under limited circumstances.

In Michigan if you are taking care of property adjacent to yours for 24 years do you have claim of adverse possession?

If you have been "taking care" of the property by agreement or permission you cannot make a claim of adverse possession. If you have been using the property continuously, openly and contrary to the rights of the owner then you may have a claim. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law in your area if you think you have a claim. You need to know how to perfect your claim under your state law.
