Healthy Yards Webinars: Gardening in Your Boulevard

The thin strip of land between the sidewalk and the road is a major opportunity for gardeners – if you pay attention to the conditions! We’ll discuss all of the considerations that go into cultivating this space (and other similar spaces in your yard that are technically in the right-of-way). We’ll highlight ways you can add ecological value to your neighbourhood while beautifying this often-overlooked piece of earth.

Join us to learn more about ownership and responsibility, height restrictions, considerations for street trees, plant choices, strategies for keeping it aesthetically pleasing and how to go from grass to garden.
