The entrance to Broadmeadows’ Olsen Place is getting a green makeover with 14 vertical garden beds planted by Hume council and local environmental group HumeUs.
The garden beds have been planted on Widford Street as part of the council’s Together 3047 initiative, which supports residents across Broadmeadows, Jacana and Dallas.
Mayor Helen Patsikatheodorou said the garden would become a living piece of art to help reinvigorate one of Broadmeadows’ most popular shopping strips.
“These beautiful garden beds will spruce up Olsen Place, and I think shoppers and traders will be most impressed,” she said.
“There is often nothing quite like a row of thriving plants, and I’m sure that people from Broadmeadows and beyond will welcome the new garden beds.”
Cr Patsikatheodorou said that through Together 3047, the council had improved the appearance of streets and public spaces, with help from residents, schools, businesses and local organisations.
