25.01.2022 It's so much easier to stick with hardy low-growing natives under your street tree and plant the food inside the fence. Use tubestock for minimal digging.
25.01.2022 For anyone in the Gabba ward
25.01.2022 So councils giving incentives to residents to convert verges into pollinator corridors is not such a radical idea.
22.01.2022 For anyone in Brisbane or MBRC area, this is a great opportunity to get some native tubestock for your nature strip
22.01.2022 What sort of conversations do you have with your neighbours?
21.01.2022 I'm regenerating the soil on my barren footpath with a verge garden to support the street tree. Native plants and flowers for the pollinators. Low maintenance. No more mowing!
20.01.2022 Have you planted out your nature strip yet?
20.01.2022 There are always native bees on my nature strip. How good would it be if we turned all the entire strips (verges) into pollinator corridors. Flower gardens instead of plastic Christmas lights through the suburbs this year?
20.01.2022 There is a street light opposite so our verge is well lit 24/7. The low-growing native shrubs in the verge garden provide much needed shade/darkness close to the ground.
20.01.2022 A verge garden competition. Great work @City of Bayswater Maybe other councils could do this.
19.01.2022 For anyone in the Toowong, Taringa area.
18.01.2022 slow down and count the tiny native bees. Baeckea flowering on the verge November 2019 despite the hot dry weather
18.01.2022 This is from WA so make it NO Western Australian natives if you are in the eastern states.
17.01.2022 Another Council on board. Great video.
16.01.2022 The street tree is now twice my height. It's just 3 years since it was planted. The verge garden surrounding it means that there's no competition from grass, no battering from mowers or edgers, and the rainwater soaks into the soil. Unexpected bonus is that fallen leaves get caught in the understory plants so the pathways are clearer than pathways between grass verges. (If you don't have a street tree, just call your council and ask for one.)
16.01.2022 Low growing habitat plants and leaf litter or mulch for the fairy wrens
14.01.2022 Don't just retreat into your house. Nature strips are a way to communicate with your neighbours. They say, we're here, we care, we're planting for the future. Gardening is an optimistic activity.
13.01.2022 What better way to combine communal gardening with social distancing than everyone planting out their nature strips
13.01.2022 Nature strips can be the green corridors between parks.
12.01.2022 So lets all use this time of isolation to replace all those standard grass verges/nature strips in front of our homes into true nature strips that we can all enjoy as we walk our neighbourhood. If just half of them were transformed, just imagine the different cities and suburbs that would emerge.
12.01.2022 And the fastest, easiest way to get it started is planting out our verges with street trees and low growing understory
12.01.2022 Nature strip means something very different in WA. They call the bit in front of your house a verge, NSW and Vic it's all nature strips, while in Queensland we have several terms. In WA, nature strips are remnant bushland - which explains Kit's reaction. But it's also a reminder that whatever we call the bit out the front of our house, their role as pollinator and wildlife corridors with predominantly native plants and flowers for the bees is more important than ever.
09.01.2022 we don't need to wait for urban designers and planners to get started now on bringing our nature strips to life.
08.01.2022 Another council in WA gets it!
06.01.2022 indigenous native plants adapted to your soil and climate make water-wise, bee-friendly nature strips
06.01.2022 Verge gardens are the ideal habitat corridors.
04.01.2022 I've only had good feedback about mine. Some people don't even seem to notice.
04.01.2022 For Toowong (Brisbane) residents and any one else interested in verge gardens. I'll be going. #WeWantVergeGardens #AdoptAVerge #NatureStrips #UrbanFoodStreet
04.01.2022 and underplanting with a nature strip garden helps our street trees thrive
04.01.2022 gardeners are doers lets get doing and transform our streets....
04.01.2022 So request a street tree from your council today, check their verge garden policy and get planting. https://www.naturestrips.com.au/10-tips-for-creating-a-tro/
04.01.2022 Plenty of pollinators on my naturestrip for those without a garden, or with no flowers in their garden. Wouldn't it be great if enough people planted out their nature strips to make pollinator corridors throughout the suburbs. More interesting for people walking too.
03.01.2022 Kumbartcho Sanctuary & Nursery is where I go to get tube stock for my verge garden. Tubestock are ideal because they're cheap - so no dramas because your expensive plant gets stolen or trampled - and also minimal digging and disruption to the roots of existing street trees.
02.01.2022 And what areas in our suburbs have the lowest diversity? Grass verges and parks with trees and grass and no understory. What we end up with is neatly mowed weeds. Why not start rewilding your footpath today. "Urban spaces low in microbial diversity tend to be more conducive to pathogens and pests, also known as microbial 'weeds"
02.01.2022 Yes, and the low-hanging fruit is the nature strip in front of your house. You can even do it while self-isolating.
02.01.2022 It's catching on - but why do so many people assume that you grow food on the nature strip?
01.01.2022 and nature strips...
01.01.2022 Every nature strip makes a difference. Have you started yours yet?
01.01.2022 Here are some great tips for planting your natives, ideally we suggest to use plants suited to your local soil type to reduce costs and any need for soil improv...er etc. However here are some great tips that can get you going straight away from South Australian Department of Environment and Water. https://www.environment.sa.gov.au//2/07/tree-planting-tips South Australia
01.01.2022 Be part of a revolution on your nature strips too
