Verge Gardens
Street verge gardens are one of the simplest, most powerful ways we can make our neighbourhoods cooler, greener, and more liveable.
WHY VERGE GARDENS
Rapid population growth, land clearing, and rising temperatures are changing how our streets feel — often for the worse. Replacing lawn with locally native plants can make a real difference: cooling hot streets, supporting pollinators, reducing water use, and turning overlooked verge spaces into places that add beauty and life to the neighbourhood. Research shows that greener streets also strengthen community connection and wellbeing.
