Christine is a Street Champion who, along with her neighbours, planted out their verges to create a more productive, biodiverse street.
She was living in Semaphore where there is a row of four houses. She started by creating a butterfly verge garden, along with an information sheet for the other households, listing the benefits of a butterfly garden, the plants and where to source them. This inspired two families to organise Ground Swell to create a herb garden and one family to create a butterfly verge garden. It is a great improvement to the verges and strengthened the connections between the families.
