A whole street of Verge Gardens!
This story and video from Sydney, Australia, totally justifies all that I have been trying to do in my front yard: grow edibles, create community, and use water on growing food, not a lawn. I hope you will check out what a group of neighbors in Australia, the front line of climate change, is doing to improve their neighborhood and world. And the kids are adorable! Thanks for reading! – Kaye

I LOVE this; the children are so precious and the work this neighborhood is doing is such gift for them and all of us. Thank you for this, Kaye..must share the good news!!!
Yes, Catherine, I wish there was a similar sentiment on my block, but, there is not. It takes work to have a veggie verge (I hadn’t heard that term, that means the parkway between the sidewalk and street) garden, and people are just not willing. – Kaye
How sad; I met with a similar response to my front yard garden before we moved to the country…now I can dig a garden anywhere I drop a shovel, but I like the community the Milkwood site depends upon for its success…Hope things will change for you, Kaye!
They DO like my garden, they just don’t want to do one themselves. It would be awesome to live on a street like this one in Sydney. – Kaye
