Chris is a Street Champion who has been beautifying the street as part of the City of Charles Sturt ‘Verges Alive’ project.
Chris dug up all the weeds, removed stones and added gypsum, sand and compost to improve the hard clay soil. She purchased native plants from the council and additional natives from nurseries, Trees for Life and State Flora. Chris watered during the warm months. This spring was the first season to fully appreciate the flowers. She says it has been a joy to watch the garden grow and bloom.
