BrightSites

Project BrightSite was started in 1987 with the purpose of taking small parcels of city-owned property and partnering with businesses or other agencies to get plant material donated and keep the newly-landscaped area maintained. That tradition continues today. BrightSites are mini botanical gardens located across the metro area. Studies show that green oasises such as these build civic pride and inspire neighbors to keep the area looking its best.
