The recent Courier article suggesting it’s time to plant out our main street roundabout and tree plot garden beds with some bright flowering plants has sparked the interest of Narrabri’s gardeners.
A reader suggested the only feature remaining to make our main street a ‘showpiece’ was the addition of some vibrant colour from flowering plants.
“Inverell is known for its floral displays and it’s time we put the same effort into making our main street the best it can be,” our correspondent said.
“It would be a shame to spend all that money on the roadwork and leave bark chips as the garden bed feature for our town.
“A suggestion received from one local gardening expert was to plant out the two roundabout gardens, starting in the centre, with beds of lavender, marigolds and petunias at the edges.
“The gardener suggested the new tree plots could be planted out with gazanias that self-seed and are easy maintenance options that wouldn’t blow the council budget.
“Readers could offer their suggested planting program to give Narrabri’s main street a spring lift,” our contributor suggested.
