Native Verge Display Garden

Check out the native verge display garden on Bradley Grove at Mitchell Park Sports and Community Centre.

Native verge gardens green our neighbourhoods, cool our streets and provide habitat for wildlife. Small birds, lizards, butterflies and native bees use native plants for food and shelter. Native gardens also help these animals move across our suburbs.

The verge garden on Bradley Grove has native plants that:

• are hardy and well suited to the local environment
• have varied flowering times for a constant show
• have diverse colours, textures and sizes to create a visually appealing and dynamic garden

Use these tips to design your own native garden!

It is important to follow the City of Marion’s Verge Development Guidelines.

Remember to:

• maintain your verge - e.g. watering, weeding and pruning
• leave room on your verge for car doors and bins
• leave clear sight lines for vehicles and pedestrians

Did you know that you can receive a rebate for greening your verge including planting natives? You can recieve 50 per cent of the costs of developing your verge, capped at a rebate of $500 per property.
