How to get free native plants in Moreton Bay

City of Moreton Bay residential property owners can apply for a free native plant voucher via Moreton Bay City Council.

The city’s community nurseries grow local flora to plant in reserves, parks, schools, and public spaces. They are open to the public, with an array of native plants for sale.

Council provides one free native plant voucher to residential property owners each financial year.

They can use their voucher to claim a choice of four tube stock pot plants, two plants in medium-sized pots or one plant in a large pot.

Pot sizes and the types of plants available vary at each nursery and staff help residents select plants when they redeem their voucher.

Community and environment groups, schools and childcare centres can also apply. Visit moretonbay.qld.gov.au/Services/Environment/Community-Nurseries
