Clover will soon be planted on some city land, as officials test its promise as an alternative to grass.
A new report headed to council’s public works committee notes the city is working on a pilot project with Gusta Sod Farms to test the use of clover in sod. This year, the city will also select some boulevards (at so-far undetermined locations) to plant clover seeds.
Meanwhile, the city is also conducting a pilot project on naturalizing part of Fermor Avenue with indigenous plants, which could help guide future projects.
A cost-benefit report on that work is expected in November.
