How can a verge become the spark that connects people, nature, and councils?

Host Laura Aston explores this question with Gayle Dallaston, founder of The Shady Lanes Project and author of Garden on the Verge: A New Approach. Gayle shares how small actions like planting native species on your verge can start a conversation that sets in motion partnerships and inspires action among people, groups and government. Benefits include more comfortable, cooler streets; more welcoming neighbourhoods, more habitat for wildlife and new connections among people and groups. Did we mention you won't have to mow?
