More and more Twin Cities residents are putling their back yard gardens to the front. °Up fronY' gardening is becoming popuEar as people realize they can gei great sun, more space, and the chance to share their gardens wiih the neighborhood. BoWevards, the area beiween the curb and the street, are a pedect spot for a garden. A vibranf garden can siow traffic, provide a spot to sit and visit, and is an ideai way to meet neighbors. However, gardening on the boulevard is also more chaliengirtg. In particutar, gazdeners need to keep piants low enough so 3hey don't block people's ability to see at interseotions. And they need to, design their gardens so thaf soii stays in the garden instead of washing into tfie strest and ultimate(y into rivers or takes. c. iNha t�wnS the B�e�iev�rd? . In most communfties, you own the space between the sidewalk and tF�e sfreei 6ut the city has the legal righi to enter this utility-filied territory, called an easement. Easements generally measure 14 feet from ihe curb into your yard. Bouievard gardeners need to be aware o( fwo things. First, that the city may need to dig up the bouievazd or sidewalk to repair and upgrade utilfies. Resulting damage to the garden will not be repaired 6y the city. Second, gardeners are responsibie to know and follow the ordinances that pertain to boulevard plan6ng in their city, See Referenceg section for detaiisrFollow your c'riy's instructions and you will enjoy your garden for years to come. �� ����1������� '�rees There may already be a beaui'rful plant on your boulevard: a iree. It is essential that you consider tree health white planning your boulevard garden. Boulevard trees face harsh growing conditions, such as low nutrierits, compacted soil, and lack of regular watering. Poor planning and improper boulevard garden maintenance can weaken o� kill boutevard trees. However, wiih proper design and care, your attention can improve the health of your trees. Here are important rules when planting around boutevard trees. • Do not dig or damage the roots o# your boufevard or front yard ir8es. Follow this guideline to decide where digging is safe: Measure the diameter of yourtree trunk ai a point 4.5 faet abave ihe ground. Muitiply this number (in inches) by 1.5. The result is the dishance (n feet) in which major roots extend in all directions from the tree trunk. . Too-tall planfi�gs at intersec6ons may hide children so they can't be seen by drivers. Can you see the 5 yearofd girJ in this garden? �OD�-� i I ✓�-�� B��le�ard �ard�ning Do not dig in this area. The majority af trea roots grow within the top 6 inches of saii and can be severely - damaged by norma[ garden cultivation This may mean that you leave a border of grass around the tree. Or you may choose to strip just the top layer fram your boutevard. Self-seeding or othenvise invasive perennials planted a few feet from the tree trunk will keep grass from growing back. Overtime, perennia[s wil! fill the area. Many native plarrts and groundcovers work well in this situation_ Make sure you also measure the root system of any trees in your front yard. These trees may have vital roots extending underneath your sidewalk and iMo your boulevard. • Avoid using her6icides on your bouievard garden. The herbicide Banvel (Dicamaba} can leach into soils and harm woody plants. Many cities torbid use of chemicals on boulevards. Do not pite soil or mulch directly against a tree trunk. Leave space between the tree and your mulch so that fungi and rodents do not aitack the tree's bark This recommendation applies to alf trees in your yard. Water your tree deeply. k� dry periods, your boulevard tree likes about 1.r2 inches of water per week. Tryto water your boufevard plantings and the tree on the same schedule. Avoid frequerrt, shallow waterings which may lead to weak, shaliow tree roots. �riveways and Sidewalks leaves are on ths trees, be sure to take into account the full canopy of shade tfiat fufure leaves wifl provide. Neight Besfrietians Most municipalities set guidelines on the height of boulevard planfs. ln Minneapolis and St. Paul, plants may be 36 inches tafl, except within sightline zones. These zones are meant to ma�dmize visibiliry for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. In St. Paul, for exampte, set6acks are the same as they are for parking (30 faef from an intersection, 5 feeC from an alley or driveway). In those areas, plants may be 18 inches tail. In Minneapolis, the set back for 18-inch-ta[I planGs is 40 feet from an intersection ' and 10 feet trom an alley or driveway. Try to keep talf ptants toward the center of your boulevard to keep sightlines clear. Don't allow your planis b droop onto sidewalks, curbs, or alleys. Stake tailer piants 'rf t4ey tendto droop. 5h•uctures, Ca�fainers, Boulders, Rnck Borders, aad Pavers Talk to your city before incorporating any of these efemertts into your boulevard garden. Many oities prohibiE these features due to concems about utiEity maintenance, snow plowing, or tiabifity. Remember, people getiing out of cars ar pedesirians rrafking on your boulevard will encourrter whatever you put on ths boulevard. Think about the other people who use the boulevard before deciding to add obstructions. Some boulevards are bordered 6y driveways or are crossed by walkways from sidewalk to curb. 'ihese concrete or gravel pathways create distinet sections for gardens. Decide "rf you wish to garden each seciion of your boulevard or "rf you will concenirate on those ihat receive the least traffic trom pedestrians, cars, and pefs. Afways keep in mind that cars wilt partc next to your boulevard and thaf passengers will use your boulevard. Leave a 2-foot edge of turf or walkable groundcover on the street side and perhaps through the garden to direct people. Tvlany cities have regulations about planting near street irrtersections, driveways, or alleys (see next section). D�s6g� ��res��er��o� Sun or Shail� Consider ffie amount of sun your garden receives. Sketch the boulevard's outline and take visual notes on which parts receive sun at differant iimes of day_ If you are making this "sun sketch" during the spring or fall when no Low plah6ngs provide co/or but sfi11 atlow children to ba seen by drivers. o���-��► f� -�� i��1e��rd ��rd gnong Boulevard Pollufion DOs • DO be careful wlien digging your houlevard io keep soil IN the boulevazd and OFF your sidewaik, driveway, and the street Take any excess soil to your compost pile. Sweep up and remove any soit or piant debris irom hard surfaces_ � DO leave a 2-foot sfrip of grass or other tlghtly-knit groundcover 6etween your boulevard garden and the curb. This barzier sfrip will catch soil runoifi and keep it in the boulevard. The border also keeps rain and hose watsr in the garden ratlier than down the sewer. A groundcover strip makes a corrvenie.nt p}ace for car passengers to alight without hurting themselves or irampling yoorflowers. Try °Satt 3urvivor" grass seed for exce{{ent iurE resufts along streets. • DO leave a 1 faot strip of grass or hardy groundcover next to ihe sidewatk or other paved areas. Again, this keeps the soil in place. � DO prepare your bouleeatd 6ed to a leve( even with your sidewafk and curb. Baulevard Patiution DON'Ts DON'T give in to the urge to create berms, mounds, or other raised 6ed gazdens in your boulevard. Even though these methods took attrac6ve, ihey cause runoff. Take a ciose look at a raisad bed bou{evard garden after a rain storm.lt is easy to see the fine organic particles washing down the street. DON'T °clean up" your boulevard garden or your front yard by sweeping leaves and debris into tha street before your neighborhood's scheduled sfreet sweeping. Remember the surprise Halloween snowstorm in 1991? The snow prevented street cleaning that year and our lakes were visibly harmed the foilowing summec Bag your leaves for the compost facility, use a mulching lawrt mower to fineEy grind them, or rake them into your backyard compost pile. DON'T mulch your boulevasd garden heaviiy. Most mulches cannot prevent runoff of fine solids: Some leaf and wood mulches may even run off themselves. Most years we don't need to mutah since we receive enough snow cover to protect hardy perennials. For insurance in a dry winter, bag some laaves and keep them handy. Use these bagged Ieaves as muich if srmw cover is sparse. Planting restrictions are tl�e same as orsimilar to ; oarking restricBons: 30-40 feet from interseclions and 5-i0 feet from a/leys and driveways. This car is parked so close to the comer, �e child is barely visibte. if/egal parking puts pedesffians at risk. So do too-fal/ p/ants fhai prevent clear sigh�nes for wa/kers arrd drive�s. Think of others belore you park and before you planL Auoiding Pnli��na Your troutevard shoutd add to the beauty ot the environment. Yet a poor[y executed garden can be a major contributor fo water pollution. Recent research into urban water quali[y shows that phosphorous runoff from yards and gardens creates significant environmental hazards in our waiershed. Boufevazd gardens are a � particular problem, since the soil and organic materiafs from a poorly designsd boufevard can easiiy wash out nf the garden and into storm sewsrs. When soil and plant debris wash down storm sewers, they flow directty in#o our lakes, creeks, and rivers. Soil particles and decaying plant materials contain phasphorous. W(ien it gets in the water, it feeds algae, which blocks sunlight and prevents other aquatic plaMs from growing. As aigae dies and decays, it uses up much of the oxygen in the waier, which used to be available for fish. Lawn dippings, leaves, and phosphorous fertilizers (phosphorus is the "P" in the "N-P-K° labe� are also big con4ributors_ Keep leaf and grass clippings in the garden or compost pile and ou[ of the sireei. It is illegaf to use high phasphorous fertilizars on lawns in the mefro area. .�� -� �oul�v��� �a rd�ni�g Main�nance 6nals WFiat kind of gardener are yau? Hands-on, every night after work? Or a couple of hours a monih? Be sure that your garden reflects the time you are wiiling to commit. High-mainienance gardens inelude plantings of showy � annuals. Every spring, annua! gardeners need to select and plarrt a whole new garden. Deadheading wilted flowers and removing the errtire ptant 2t fhe end of the season create work. Mnual gardens may require more water or fertilizer to thrive. On the plus side, they can be very showy and are tun to redesign each year. Lower maintenance 6oulevazds can include plantings of hardy perennials, low-growing shrubs, groundcovers, and bulhs. These can be planted once and in some cases can Till in large areas by seFf-seeding. The cost is initially much higher than that of an annuai garden, but plants grow large and can be divided and shared. Native plants are perhaps ihe easiest gardens to maintain over Ume. Natives reqaire little or no eutra water, little or no fertiiization, and are fypically very hazdy in drought or harsh winters. An added p(us is the remarkable show of buttertlies and birds that may be attracted to your boulevard. We highiy recommend native plantings. See resources section for more on native plants. ���HIA!!�� $�i D8� Gopher Sta#e One Before you dig, call to see whether underground power Iines, gas lines, or cables run under your boulevard_ Dial Gopher State One at (651) 454-0002 and within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) the locations of any buried utlities on your property wiil be c{early marked. Avoid hitting these utilities by staying ai least 2 teet away in either direction. Damaging underground utilities is expensive and dangerous. Snil ConHitions and lead Safefy Boulevard garden soil is often not the best quality. MosY boulevards suffer irom neglecf, foot traffic, and winter sand and salt. The soil may even be construction fi!1 rather than biack dirt. These a{I contribute to some rather sorry soil conditions. it is a good idea to have a soil test. Call the University ofi Minnesata Extension Service listed by county in your phone book. We also recommencf that you have your boulevard soil tested for lead, a common problem in street side gardens. Contact the Sus2ainable Resources GeMer Urban Lands program for ways to deal wRh soil canfamination and other soil probiems (see "Resaurces° section.) Sn�7 PreP�'ation The work you put in ai the outset of your boulevard project makes all the different in its future success. Take the time to do it right, and you wEil be rewarded. • Drainage is key: Create soii conditioos that allow water to percolate into the garden, rather fhan to run off over a compacted, hard surface. • Strip sod. Using a sharp spade or a rented sod stripper, rsmove just ffie top layer of grass from fhe part of your boutevard that is to become a gardan. Compost the old scraps or use them to fill in sparse areas in other parts of your lawn. • Loosen soii. Using a digging fork, loosen the top layer of soil to atiout 8 inches deep. Motorized tillers are harder to corMrol in the small space of a boulevard and are a problem for carefui digging neaz Vees. • Ramove rocks and other debris. • t€ necessary, amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure, according to the results of your soil test • if you plan to bury a Osaka hose to provide irrigafion, now is the time to do it. Piace the hose at the manufacfurers recommended depth, in a pattern that will serve planis through the boulevard. Position ifie hookup where you can easily attach a hose and monitor ihe watering. Purchase a hose guide that provides a smooth surface Tar tricyclas, pedestrians, and wheelchair users who may use your sidewalk while you are watering: • �o noi allow soil to overtlow the borders of your boulevard. The garden bed should be no higher than the top of the curb and sidewa(k. Avoid the urge to mound soi[ in the boulevard. This teads to soil runoff. • Do noi remove so mucfi soil that you oreate a deep basin in your boulevard. While this may help prevent runoff, the uneven drop-off from the sidewalk and curb edges creafes a significant hazard to pedestrians. Waish 71�se Car �oars*. Remember, people wilE open their car doors into your garden. Consider a barrier of ai least 2 feet from the street ptanted with grass or a walkable groundcover to give car doors space to open. Atso, consider a path ihrQUgh ynur garden so peopte can walk through, rathec than on your piants. Avoid large rocks or barriers that will interfere with car doors or pectestrians. pooa-�r� L 1�U� �-� � i � : ,, ;" , � ' -, f Sainwater �ardcns ff the conditions of your boulevard are right, you can create a rain garden to catch and retain rainwater and snowmeR so ihey soak into tha earfh rather inta than tfie storm sewer. First, make sure you follow guidelines for digging near trees. Then, check to sea you have enough room to leave a furf or groundcover border of #-2 feet. tf enougfi space remains, dig a �ery graduai, shatlow dip (1-2 inches) in fhe center ot the boulevard, teaving the boulevard edges level to any hard surfaces. Plant your rain garden with hardy perennials suited for a wet siTe, such.a Bee Balm (Monarda spp.) and Swamp Wlflkweed (Asclepias incamata)_ Nffiive plants work well in these conditions. 7no Mach Satt? Common Yarrow {Achi/lea millefo/ilim). Bright or pastel flowers urith delicate, fem3ke foliage. Can be mowed to 2 incfies. Accepts foo# traffic. Aromatic wfien cut If aliowed to ffower, can reach t2-30 inches tall. Self-seeds. Pussy Toes (Anienrndria dioica) spreads in a carpet of grey- green fetry leaves_ Grows to 6 iriches. Pink or whife flowers in late spring or early summer. Accepts some foot traftic. Sedum, also known as Sionecrop, comes in many varieties. Look for the very tow-growing, creeping iypes such as Sedum "Goldmoss" (Sedum acre), which grows 2-3 inches tali and spreads. Masses of yellow, star- shaped flowers. Thyme (Thymus spp.) Very aromatic creeping plants with tiny pink, lavender, or white flowers. 2-5 inches tall. Can be trimmed with a lawn mower.
