About this item
by Gayle Dallaston (Author)
Resident-planted native verge gardens supporting council street trees is the fastest, cheapest, most doable way to increase shade and biodiversity.
Drawing on practical experience and wide research, this new approach enables councils and residents to work together to make it happen.
Gayle Dallaston started her verge garden in 2017. Over the years, she studied what works, what doesn't, why people give up, why disputes happen, and why some people never start.
You'll learn how to navigate the different views of the many diverse users of this space.
You'll build productive relationships and networks to make a difference in your community.
Your verge garden will be a living example of a nature-based solution to mitigate the effects of urban heat and climate change.
When we collaborate, everyone wins:
- Council street trees thrive
- Residents have native gardens instead of mowing
- Natural biodiversity gets a much-needed boost
Local action creates the hope and optimism needed to do more. This strategic framework makes it scalable.
This book will help you avoid the pitfalls and give you the confidence to start.
