Our volunteers have been busy growing thousands of local native plants at The Shed Biodiversity Nursery. This winter we will be offering wildflowers, shrubs and trees to City of Burnside residents for planting in their gardens, private creeks or hills face properties.
Local natives are species that have grown in the Burnside area for thousands of years. Planting local natives is the best way to encourage birds and beneficial insects to your garden.
You can select and order your plants online and choose a time to pick them up from the Biodiversity Nursery. Dozens of species are available. There is a limit of 16 plants per person (one item can be a wildflower pack) so more people can access local plants.
The giveaway will be officially opened by Mayor Anne Monceaux at the Burnside Environment Expo on Saturday 17 May 2025.
Orders open on Saturday 17 May 2025 and will remain open until Monday 30 June 2025 or until stocks last.
