Davie Street and Eco-friendly sustainable community focus

Walking around this area you wouldn’t know that you are in the city area. Davie Street has many single storey and locally owned shops. Close to the water, and a little community garden situated in the midst of the busy streets which gives an eco-friendly feel to the area.

There have been a few places that I have travelled that have these types of gardens, particularly in city areas where backyards don’t exist. It would be great to see more of this occur and a turn back to the natural and sustainable lifestyle, even in the midst of the hectic and chaotic city, which is all too easy to get caught up in; fast paced city life, pre-packaged and full of preservatives.



Whilst traveling convenience does pull and often override the healthy and natural approach, which I do struggle with, as I keep falling back to convenience. So to be in an area where there is a more community and less hectic feel about it is great. Gives me the motivation to live a little healthier, for a time! With the water and great Seawall walks being so close it is fabulous to get out and about in the cool air, when it isn’t raining.
