and more Twin Cities residerns are puEling their back yard gardens to the front °Up fronf° gardening is becomfng poputar
as people reatize they can get great sun, more space, and the chance to share their gardens with the neigh6orhood.
8oulevards, the between the curb and the sfreet, are a pedeci spot for a garden_ A hbraM garden can slow irafSC,
provide a spot to sit and visit, and is an idsal way to meet neighbors. However, gardening on the boulevard is also more
chaAenging. in parlicular, gazdeners need to keep plants 1ow enough so they don't block people's a6iliry to see at
irrtersections. And they need to.design their gardens so t�t soil stays in the garden fnstead oi washing into ihe streei
and uftimffiefy into mers or takes.

Easements generaily measure 74 feet frOm the curb into

thiixjs. Flrst, that the city may need to dig up the
boulevard or sidewalk to repair and upgtade utilfies.
Resulfing damage to the garden +,v,1f not be repaired by

Do not dig in this area. The majority of tres roots grow
within the top 6 inches of soit and can 6e severely -
damaged by normaf garden cultivation. This may mean
tha[ you leave a border of grass around the tree. Or
you may choose to strip Just the top layer from your
boutevard. Seff-seeding or oiherwise invasive
perennials p(anted a few Eeet from the Vee trunk will
keep grass from growing back. Over time, perenniafs
wilt fill the area. Many na6ve ptarts and groundcovers
work viell in this sEtuation_
Make seire you also measure the root system of any
trees in yous froM yard. These trees may have vital
roofs e�ctending undemeath your sidewalk and irtEo
y0ur bou{evard.
• Avoid using herblcides on your boulevard garden. The
herbicide Sanvel {Dicama6a} can leach into soils and
harm woody plarts. Many cities forbid use of chemicals
on boulevazds.
• Do nat plte so[I or mu(ch dtrectly against a tree trunk
Leave spaca between the tree and your mulch so that
fungi and rodents do �ot attack the tree's bark This

Height ReStrie�imns
Most muniapalfties set guidelines on the height of
6ai(avard plants: ln Minneapolis and St. P�ui, plarts may
be 36 inches talf, except within sigMline zones. These
zones are meant to ma�dmse visib'sl's[y for pedestrians,
cyclisES, and motorists. In S[. Paul, for example, setbacks
are the same as they are for pasking {30 feeF trom an
intersection, 5 feet from an a11ey or driveway). In those
areas, plarts may be 18 inches taR In Minneapolis, the set
backfor t&inch-fa(I ptants is 40 feetirom an intersection
and 10 feet trom an atley or drivsway.
Try to keep tali pEan#s towerd the cerrter ot your boutevard

abov[ the other people who use ihe boulevard before
deciding to add obstructions.
Some boulevazds ars bordered by driveways or are
crossed by waikways from sidewalk to curb. These
concrete or gravel pathways create distinct secYions for
gardens. Decide i€ you wish to garden each section of
your boulevard or if you will concentrate on those that
receive the [east traffic from pedestrians, qrs, and pets.
Afways keep in mind [hat oars wll park nexi to your

Boutevasd Polkrtion DOs
• DO be careiut when digging your boulevard ta
keep soi! IN tne boulevard and OFF your sidewaik,
driveway, and the street Take any excpss soil to
your compost piie. Sxeep up arni remove any soi!
or plant debris from hard surtaces.
• DO ieave a 2-foot 5trip of grass or other 6ghtly-Imi[
grourtticover behveen your bou[evard garden and
ths curb. This bartier sf7ip will catch soil runofl and
keep ft in the bouSevard. The border aiso keeps rain
and hose tivatsr in the garden ratfier than dovm the
sewer. A groundcover sVip mafces a cornenierrt
pface for car passengers to alight without hurting
themsetves ortrampling yourflowers. Sry "Satt
Survivor" grass seed for exceflent turf resutts along
streels. . .
• DO leave a T-toot strip of grass or hardy
groundcover ner� to the sidewatk or other paved
areas. Again, thts keeps the soil in place.
• DO prepare your boutevazd bed to a teve[ even
w"sih your sidewatk and curb.
Boutevard Pollution DON'Ts
DON'T giva in to the urge to create berms,
mounds, w other raised tsed gardens in your
boulevard. Even though these methods look
attractive, they cause runofl. l"ake a close faok at a
raised tied boulevard garden after a rain storm. ft'rs
easyto seethe fine organic parScies washing
down the street
DON'7 °efean up" your boulevard garden or your
Sront yard by sweeping leaves and debris into the
street before your neighbQrhood's scheduled sfreet
sweepfng. Rememberthe surprise Halioween
snowstorm in 1937? The snow prevented street
cleaning that year and our lakes were visibly
harmed thefotlowing summer. Bag your leaves for
the compost facility, use a mulching lawn mower to
linety grind them, or rake ihem into your backyard
compost pile.
DON'7 mutch your boWevazd garden heavily. Most
mulches cannoi pieverA runofF o1 fine sotids. Some
leaf and wood mufches rnay even run off
ihemselves. Most years we don't neetl to mukh
since we receive enough snow cover to protect
hardy perenniats. For insurance in a dry wudeS bag
some leaves and keep them handy. Use these
bagged 3eaves as muich if snow cover is sparse.
P/arrting resfrictions are the same as or similarto parking
�eslrictions: 30-40 feet /rom infersecfions and 5-iD feet
from alleys and driveways. Thfs cai is parked so c(ose fo

Avoiding Pnlla6nn
Your boulevatd should add to the beauty af ihe
ernrironment. Yet a poorly euecuted garden can he a
major contributorto water poflution. ReceM research into
urban water quati4y shows that phosphorous runoft from
yards and gardens creates signiitcant environmerrtat
hazards in our watershed. Soulevard gatdens are a �
particular problem, since the soi! and organic materiats
irom a poor4y designed bouSevacd can easily wash out of
the garcien and into storm sewers.
When soil and plant debris wash down storm sewers, they
flrnx directiy irrto our lakes, creeks, and rivers_ Soil particles
and decay"ing plant materials contain phosphorous. When
it gets in the water, ft feeds algae, which blocks suniight
and prevents other aquatic plants from growing. As algae
dies and decays, it uses up much of the oxygen in the
water, which used to be avaitable for fish.
Law�t clippings, leaves, and phospharous fertiCzers
(phosphorus is the "P" in the "N-P-K° lahel} are also big
contributo� Keep leaf and grass cRippings in the gartien
or compost piie and out of the street. it is illega( to usa
high phosphorous te�2ilizer5 on tawns in the metro area.

What kind of gardener are you? Hands-on, every nigfit
after worlCt Or a couple of tburs a morRh? 8e sure that
your garden refiects the time you are witling to commit.
H;gh-maintenance gardens inelude plantings of showy -
annuals. Every spring, annual gardeners need to select
and plarrt a whote new garden. Deadheading wilted
T!owars and removing the entire pSattt af tfie end af the
season create work. Annual gardens may require more
water or ferti!'�zer to thrive. �n the plus side, they can be
very shoNry and are #un to redesign each year.
Lower maintenance boulevards can indude plarrtings of
hardy perenniats, low-growing shrubs, grourxtcovers, and
bulhs. These can be planfed once and in some cases can
filt in large areas by setf-seeding. The cost is ini�ally much
higher than that of an annual garden, 6ut ptants grow
large and aan be divided artd shared.
ldaEive plarrts are perhaps the easiest gardens to maintain
over time. Natives require liitfe or no exlra water, fittle or no
fertilization, and are typicatly very hazdy in drought or
harsh wiMers. M added p4us is tfie remarkabSe show of

3he work you put in at the outset of your boulevard

the tane to do �t right, and you w�ll be rewarded.
• Drainaga is key: Create soil wnditions that atlow waier
to perco(ate into the garden, rather fhan to run off over
a compacted, hard surface.
• Strip sod. Using a sharp spade or a reMed sod stripper,
remove ]ust the top 3ayer of grass from the part of your
boulevard that is to become a garden. Compost the o!d
scraps or use them to fill in sparse areas in other parFs
of your lawn. " '
• Loosen soil. Us(ng a dgging fork, loosen the top layer
of soil to about 6 inches deep. Mo[asized ti0ers are
harder to control in the small space of a boulevard and
are a problem ior careFui digging near trees.
• Remove rocks and other dehris.
• If necessary, emend the soil with compost or well-rotted
manure, according to the resulES of your soi! test

now is the time to do ft. Piace ihe hose at the

monitot the watering. Furchase a hose guide thai

• Do not atlow soif to overflow the borders of your
boulevard. The garden bed should be no higherthan
the top of the curb and sidewalk. Avoid the urge 10
