As suburban backyards shrink and green space becomes a

premium, even as we are encouraged to grow, to compost and

to reduce waste, it makes no sense to keep nature strips as no-

go zones, and to insist on watering hungry strips of lawn with

much of the run off ending up in the storm water system. The

response has been a verge and community garden revolution!

gardening, It’s one of those ideas that is now capturing the

public’s imagination and we are starting to see more and more

Colls from Canberra City Farm, and Peter Weddell from Canberra Organic Growers Society.
