The Native Plant Giveaway is returning for 2025!

We’re giving away over 2000 FREE native seedlings, spanning 12 different species – including wildflowers, grasses and shrubs – to help you grow a water sensitive and climate resilient garden that supports local biodiversity.

Set your new plants up for success with a FREE bag of compost, made from food and garden organics collected from Stonnington residents’ green bins. And do it all while enjoying melodies with a message from the Climate Choir.

Make sure you bring a bag or box to transport your plants and compost.
