We are proud to announce and celebrate the successes of residents involved in our Waterwise Verge Garden Competition for 2023/24.
Residents are playing a vital role in saving valuable water, greening and cooling our neighbourhoods, supporting and enhancing local biodiversity and creating a waterwise community. We think this is worth celebrating and hope it will inspire others to take action in this space.
The awards recognise residents who have created and maintained beautiful, waterwise and biodiverse verge gardens.
This initiative was proudly co-funded by Water Corporation’s Waterwise Greening Scheme and forms part of our ambition for the City to be a leading waterwise community.
Thank you to everyone who entered the 2023 Waterwise Verge Garden Competition
