Sounds like a great plan—just make sure you’ve got a spot that gets at least six hours of sun and a good drainage plan, or those native blooms will be sad and droopy. Don’t let the paperwork turn it into a bureaucratic nightmare; a simple community garden permit usually does the trick. Pick a mix of nectar‑rich perennials and some native grasses, and you’ll have a buzz‑friendly oasis in no time. Go for it—those bees and butterflies will thank you, and the city will get a splash of real color.
