Brisbane Northside, Qld: Banyo Verge Garden Public Information Session

Thinking of planting your verge?

What would it be like if we transformed the streets of Banyo with council-planted street trees supported by resident-planted native verge gardens, making them cooler, walkable, biodiverse habitat corridors connecting larger green spaces and other local destinations?

What would it look like? What would it feel and smell like? What would it change? Whose lives would it change?

Brisbane City Council’s verge garden policy allows residents to plant low-growing plants instead of grass on the verges in front of their homes.

Come along and find out:

• how verge gardens can help make our suburbs cooler and increase biodiversity
• why planting local native plants is better than planting food on the verge
• what the Council policy says you can and can’t do
• how to keep onside with your neighbours
• how to keep it low maintenance
• what the Banyo Verge Garden Project is all about

Afternoon tea and coffee provided.
