Pro's and con's - food for native animals and can cause conflict - baiting, inappropriate structures appearing to support garden, bandicoots getting run over on road... growing corn blocking vision
Food for the family and others - healthy food (nutrition and benefits fof gardening by gardening) - exercise
Can produce a set of guidelines on appropriate species for verge food garden - what species are waterwise, what will grow there and what wont have negative impacts for passers / other residents
I checked out a few web sites and LGAs in the eastern states have reported a decrease in heat island effect, slower driver speeds and friendlier neighbors.
