Join Peter Dodgshun, Landscape Gardener, Knox Environment Society and Gardens for Wildlife Volunteer, to learn more about preparing, planting and maintaining an indigenous nature strip! Peter’s advice can equally apply to those small garden spaces. 

Peter recently transformed a nature strip of lawn in Knox, into a pollinator and indigenous plant habitat. Not to mention it looks stunning – see photo.

Nature strips can become an extension of resident’s gardens and an opportunity to build on Knox’s habitat corridors. This presentation will equip you to bring nature back into your nature strip too.

• Explaining the steps to install and maintain a nature strip garden.
• Providing tips for plant selection.
• Highlighting methods for lawn removal.
• Outlining resources available for residents.
