Traffic Garden Resources
In the last handful of years, brand-new traffic garden resources have been created to help people and communities take on new projects. From guides to stencils, check out the resources we have curated to help you in planning, designing and building traffic gardens! We were very happy to have worked with partners and pals to create most of these new resources and love showcasing the other great work afoot in this emerging field!
