Native Seedling Giveaway

Throughout the year Council runs free native seedling giveaways to encourage native plantings and increase habitat for local fauna.

Seedling giveaway events are held throughout the year and Maitland residential property owners and households are encouraged to attend. Upon proof of residence at events, you can receive up to five native tube stock species to take away and plant in your garden. Tenants are required to seek landowner approval before attending the event.
