At gardens in Watertown
This year, in addition to your full gardens, we are featuring the planting strips between sidewalks and streets. This challenging environment is also known as the "hellstrip". While not a location for plants that need tender care, it can be a showcase of tough, drought-resistant native plants. Even a small strip can be a haven for native bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Not to mention a splash of color for the people walking by!
The Watertown DPW has an excellent flyer about the planting strip available here. 
The map and brochure are posted below. The numbered green dots indicate hosted gardens. Hosted gardens will be welcoming guests during the hours of the Garden Tour. Until the next tour, please be respectful and view these gardens from the street.
The golden flowers indicate unattended hellstrips and public gardens. These are open for viewing from the street any time!
