The project is part of a pilot program with North Carolina State University. Researchers are working to determine whether the roadside plots are feasible for producing biofuel crops.
Workers plan to plant the gardens along roadways in Raleigh and Faison on Tuesday, Mount Airy on Wednesday and Rutherford County on Thursday. Officials started the program last year by planting sunflowers and say it's possible to generate about 40 gallons of biodiesel from each acre of sunflower.
