Demonstration Sites

Public demonstration sites are being established around the City to put our principles for native planting into action! Covering a variety of growing conditions, we experiment with a variety of native plants, planting methods, and management techniques with the goal of reducing mowing needs, increasing biodiversity, and creating more climate resilient landscapes.
