Two Verge Garden Visits Coming Up
Seeing an established native verge garden makes it a lot easier to know where to start on your own. At these events, you can find out more about the plants and council policies.
Councils plant and maintain street trees. Residents can help those trees thrive by replacing the grass on the verge with a native verge garden. Brisbane City Council has a policy and guidelines for residents here.
The ACF Community Brisbane Northside Verge Garden Nature Project is part of the Australian Conservation Foundation’s Save Our Big Backyard campaign to raise community awareness and knowledge about the importance of biodiversity and native habitat in our suburbs as well in regional and remote areas.
Gayle’s Verge Garden - 25th January 2025
Visit an established verge garden to see how native plants and street trees work together to create cooler, walkable, interesting streets.
This garden fits within the Brisbane City Council verge garden guidelines and is the garden on the Shady Lanes Project website.
Find out why we need to work within the guidelines and why native plants are recommended. See different native plants in place and compare the tree in the garden with trees surrounded by grass.
Gayle will be on hand to answer any questions from 9:00am to 10:00am
