Wildflower Seeding of Empty Tree Pits Pilot Project
In Spring 2026, the Office of Green Infrastructure will be piloting wildflower seeding of empty street tree pits in locations deemed unsuitable for future tree planting. This pilot will target pits in two locations: Lawrence Street in the South End and Fisher Ave in Mission Hill. Following maintenance through the summer and fall, we will evaluate the success based on vegetative resilience and public acceptance. We welcome feedback to help us evaluate success.
Locations

Fisher Avenue, between Parker Hill Avenue and Estey Street
