Gayle Dallaston

Founder of The Shady Lanes Project and member of Regen Brisbane

When I started my verge garden, my reason was simple. I was fed up with mowing it. Back then, I had no idea where it would lead me.

Now I think verge gardens could be the key to saving us from the worst of climate change and biodiversity loss. Big claim for unimportant little bits of land, you might say. Come on the journey and see if you change your mind.

The Shady Lanes Project is about a lot more than us all planting out our little patches. It’s about bringing diverse people together to learn how to collaborate by doing. It’s about changing the way we see nature. It’s about eco-systems thinking.

Most of all, it’s about learning by doing the doable - and making what’s doable grow.
