We need more street trees to reduce heat in our suburbs and increase biodiversity.

Councils plant and maintain street trees. Residents can help those trees thrive by replacing the grass on the verge with a low-maintenance, native verge garden. Brisbane City Council has a policy and guidelines for residents here. (Bonus: less mowing!)

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.

Visit an established verge garden to see how native plants and street trees work together to create cooler, walkable, interesting streets.

verge garden 

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, 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

Please RSVP for the address.
