Native plants are a good choice in gardens as they use less water than many non-natives and establish quickly. They are also great at attracting native animals and insects back into our area by providing shelter and food.
Every year, Council offers free native plant seedlings to residents and schools to help our community create habitat.
Orders due by 17 June 2021Plants will be delivered Week 1 to 4 in Term 3
Schools will be notified of the ordering process by email in mid-May. Up to 100 native plant seedlings will be available to each school, depending on demand.
