Native trees, shrubs and flowers are planted in formerly fragmented patches of urban land. Those patches become “stepping stones” to larger native plant installations in parks and gardens.

Together, these newly linked habitats form a lively and resilient network for native pollinators like birds and butterflies.

Along with beautifying Venice, our PARC delivers many other important benefits like these:

• Shading streets to mitigate heat
• Capturing and filtering stormwater
• Promoting wildfire resilience
• Increasing essential biodiversity
• Aiding migrating pollinators
• Lowering water consumption needs
• Eliminating plant chemical use
• Nourishing beneficial native species
• Building community enjoyment
• Enhancing visitors’ experience
