Gardening Sustainable Chippendale If you are passionate about sustainability we'd love you to join us in getting behind this ground breaking project to establish a practical model for sustainable inner city living in sydney. See how a community in chippendale, sydney, transformed their streets into green spaces with verge gardens.
Gardening Sustainable Chippendale We saw the impact of community gardening on chippendale as we walked through the streets; nearly every road verge, the area separating a footpath from the street, was teeming with plant life, a result of a public gardening policy the community and council implemented. This week sustainable chippendale residents and sydney city council planted, mulched and then watered new edible road gardens in shepherd st, chippendale. Edible streets reduce packaging waste from groceries edible gardens encourage and provide a use for community composting facilities which reduces green waste from garbage collection edible gardens encourage bees which are essential for pollination of native flora. In 2011, the city incorporated the myrtle street, chippendale, street verge gardens into its sustainable streets demonstration project when it decided to support a trial of verge gardening, community composting, michael mobbs’ retrofitted sustainable demonstration house, and other local initiatives already underway among local people.
