]]> Called « sidewalk gardens » residents set up edible plants in their sidewalk garden, tend to them and watch them flourish. The reward will be when the fruits and vegetables are harvested by others.

Make sure to plant seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as water wise plants for those living in areas with water restrictions.

There is even a Facebook group to get and give advice: https://www.facebook.com/groups/282066233085016/
