Join us for our first joint workshop with Coolum Community Native Nursery with Landscape architect and native plant gardener Shaun Walsh. With more than 30+ years experience, Shaun will take you through the design process – form, pattern, drama, plant suitability and biodiversity – to help you create a beautiful ecologically sound native garden.
The verge is the area between your front property boundary and the kerb. In Noosa Shire you are allowed to landscape your verge if you follow Council guidelines that balance utility, access and greenery. Verge planting is great for biodiversity and urban greening.
Our workshop this month was a productive morning as Sean Morrow, from One Earth Landscaping, coordinated the construction of a frog habitat pond at Noosa Women’s Shed with willing helpers from the Women’s Shed and UWG
Our open garden visit this month was well attended despite the rainy weather. Those who had been to Shaun’s first open garden three years ago were amazed at the transformation. You can read how Shaun considered design concepts for his garden and see some early photos in the link.
It was a productive and sociable morning last Saturday when six volunteers turned up to our second Verge Garden planting day.
Our Verge Garden Workshop, in partnership with Noosa and District Landcare, was well attended and the fine weather contributed to an enjoyable morning. It was held at the beautiful Station Place Native Garden next to the Landcare HinterHub in Pomona and attendees were able to see examples of many of the plants recommended for verges.
