We’re great believers in homeowners playing a direct role in their street. The most visible (and perhaps the easiest!) way is to plant out the verge. In our case, we’ve planted one verge with native plants (above), as well as a second containing herbs and other edibles. Both are lovely to walk by (we think).…

Reclaim the curb (and win a prize!)

Our native verge is lush and vibrant.

That’s why we’re excited to hear about the Reclaim the Curb initiative, who are holding a competition to Create Australia’s Most Edible Curb.

What a great idea! So get planting, and submit your efforts to win a prize 🙂

    Say, do you want to take part in some ‘tree following?” This is the first year I’m participating. Lucy of http://looseandleafy.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-is-tree-following-and-list-of-tree.html noted that most of the participants were from the UK and North America. Since you are one of a few ‘down-under’ bloggers that I follow, I thought it would be sort of neat to see what is blooming from your part of the world.
