Native Verge Garden Delight
Meet Behrooz, a resident who transformed his front lawn into a thriving native garden! Five years ago, Behrooz, decided to replace his traditional lawn with native plants. Each year, he participated in the Living Green Seedling Subsidy to bolster his garden. His beautiful garden now extends the habitat for native marsupials and small reptiles like Kwenda and Bobtails, creating a vital corridor for our local wildlife.
The City encourages all residents to develop "habitat corridors" to support our vulnerable fauna. Remember to check the Street Verge Policy to ensure that while growing your beautiful garden, you maintain clear sightlines for traffic. Behrooz has struck the perfect balance, providing a haven for wildlife while keeping larger shrubs pruned to maintain driver visibility.
