Time to let go of our obsession with lawn verges?
Nature verges are a wonderful alternative that are waterwise, low-nutrient and attract biodiversity. They also look amazing!
If you have a Nature Verge or want to dob in someone who does, check out our Nature Verge Competition. Entries close 15 December.
A big thanks to Soils aint Soils - Busselton and Dunsborough for donating to our garden prize pack!

Phosphorus is an important nutrient for pasture growth, but applying too much can mean it ends up in our rivers and wetlands, causing water quality problems like algal blooms.
Local trials undertaken in the uPtake project have shown the addition of phosphorus in excess of production requirements results in no increase in production, but added significantly to the leaching of phosphorus into the groundwater in some of the trials.
These are important results to help farmers improve their fertiliser management, save money and protect our rivers and estuaries. Read more at rgw.dwer.wa.gov.au/fertilising-for-the-future/.

Superheroes have been enlisted to protect the bay with a creative campaign to improve gardens in the Geographe Bay Catchment.Congratulations to local farmer, Ian Slee, who has won himself a Goose voucher for taking part in our 2020 Geographe Landholder Survey! Daughter Nikki completed the survey for him so he has agreed to share the voucher with her - what a great dad! (not sure if dog Bear is in on the deal though!)
We hope you enjoy your night out!
