Plants on My Brisbane Nature Strip (infosec.pub)

Why grow a nature strip? Helps wildlife survive, brings coolness, beauty and amenity to your street and can open up conversations with locals, creating better neighbourhoods.

What to grow? Here's some ideas from Gayle Dallaston of The Shady Lanes Project: https://shadylanes.com.au/naturestrips/plants-on-my-brisbane-nature-strip/

Not sure if Lemmy playing up or not, but that photo comes through super blurry?

Looks like plenty of native stuff though which is neat.

We're replanting our yard slowly. Currently there's 40-odd trees in the ground. Lilly Pilli of various types, melaleucas, bottle brush, native hibiscus, peanut tree, hakeas, a few figs that I'll never live long enough to see in full glory.

Birds love it.

The photo doesn't come up blurry on my laptop. I'm not techie at all so I'm sorry I don't know why it's blurry on your device.

Congratulations on your garden work. I am doing something similar and have seen the wildlife diversity increase and I will keep on planting. It's a joy. I'll put up more native gardening posts up if there is an interest here.
