The city is encouraging Edmontonians to add character to their neighbourhood by planting a boulevard garden.

If there is a strip of land between the sidewalk and the road adjacent to your property, you are eligible to apply for a free boulevard gardening permit.

Permits can be obtained on the city’s website.

There are two options for permits. The city says most gardeners will choose a declaration for low-impact gardening, but more ambitious horticulturists may wish to choose a licence of occupation.

There are also several rules governing the gardens, which can be found on the city’s website.

The fee for permits is being waved in 2022 and 2023.
