Gosnells residents will have the chance to green up their gardens and support local wildlife with the City giving away up to 10,000 native plants next month.
Locals can collect up to 10 free plants on Sunday, May 4 between 9am and 1pm at the City of Gosnells Museum at Wilkinson Homestead. The giveaway is part of a push to boost biodiversity, save water, and encourage more sustainable gardening.
Mayor Terresa Lynes said the event was a win for residents and the environment.
“This is a great opportunity to spruce up your garden, help create thriving habitats for local wildlife and improve biodiversity in our community,” she said.
Alongside the plant collection, there will be family-friendly activities and expert gardening advice to help residents make the most of their new native plants.
The giveaway is supported by the Water Corporation’s Greening Initiative and the Armadale Gosnells Landcare Group.
To take part, residents must register ahead of time and bring photo ID plus a recent rate notice or bill as proof of address. The offer is only open to people living in the City of Gosnells.
Attendees are also encouraged to bring a box or container to carry their plants home safely.
Registrations opened Tuesday, April 22. For more details on the plant species available, visit gosnells.wa.gov.au.
