Ottawa residents may soon be allowed to build a garden in their front yard close to the road, as the city looks to clarify streetscape rules while also encouraging pollinator gardens and preventing heat-island effects., with staff recommending the city allow gardening projects within the right-of-way on city property.
Last spring, Council approved a motion from councillors Laura Dudas and Rawlson King to direct staff to review the rules to allow residents or community groups to create landscaping projects within the right of way. Staff say there are a "host of benefits in having more gardening options", including encouraging naturalization and pollinator gardens, increasing drought and soil erosion resistance and promoting climate change resiliency.
