Native Seedling Giveaway

Due to the current water restrictions, seedling events and rural seedling distribution will be on hold until further notice.

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.

For the next plant giveaway event visit the What's on page.

Rural property owners can contact Council at any time to request native seedlings. When property owners contact Council, an assessment will be made of the property in consultation with the property owner and a plan and agreement developed to determine the species and number suitable for your particular rural property. Council will deliver the seedlings to individual properties once they are available.
