Verge Garden Trail
Planting on nature strips unlocks the hidden potential of our streets.
These green spaces can connect habitats for birds and pollinators, cool and soften the urban landscape, soak up rainwater, bring beauty and wellbeing and feed the community.
Even a small patch of plants makes a big difference when we work together.
