Hey everyone! Would love to give my blocks sidewalk planters a little love this spring but really have no idea where to start. Is it okay to plant some grass/clover seeds to give it a little greenery or will either of those even take in this clay-like ground? Would also love to try out sprinkling some native wildflower seeds if anyone thinks those would actually germinate too. Open to any and all suggestions! Thanks y’all 🙂 (for context I am in Brooklyn, NY)

Don’t waste too much time or money on it. Only a matter of time before the city comes by to clear it out. 🙄
Awesome! I live in Brooklyn too and have been doing lots of different street tree work. Aerate the soil with a hand cultivator and make sure the tree is healthy. Choose drought-tolerant plants only. DM me and I can give you some species recs.
Have you tried r/guerrillagardening ?
What part of Brooklyn? I’m in prospect heights and have like 40 seed started yarrow plugs (Summer Pastels), happy to donate a few!
