Native Plant Sale
Saturday 1st April 2023
Join us at North Perth Common where there will be thousands of native plants from $1.00 and a variety of species available.
Varieties will include ground covers and small shrubs, to tall shrubs and climbers. A limited number of larger Kangaroo Paws and small trees are available for purchase at $5.00.
Bring a box or small trolley with you for your plants and free FOGO Compost.
We encourage you to plant natives in your gardens to increase and foster local biodiversity and establish biodiversity corridors throughout the City, as well as create waterwise and low maintenance gardens and verges.
We’ll have plenty of horticulturists on site to help with plant choice and to provide information on the plants available.
Vincent residents can collect one FREE bag of FOGO compost per household but stocks are limited so get in early.
The FOGO compost produced from the contents of your lime-green lid Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) bin is a great soil amendment to apply to your garden prior to planting out your new native tube stock.
This high quality product with added seaweed extract can be applied to native plants at a rate of one part compost to four parts sand or soil.
97 per cent of the contents of Vincent’s FOGO bins is recovered to be turned into this high quality compost. This is the circular economy in action, right in our own homes.
Members of our Waste and Recycling team will also be on hand at the plant sale to answer your waste sorting questions.
Entry
Entry to the sale will be off Fitzgerald Street.
Please note there is a limit of 20 plants per household, and sales are restricted to City of Vincent residents only.
Redeem your 20 free plants at the sale if you have recently signed up to the Adopt A Verge Program! Proudly co-funded by Water Corporation Waterwise Greening Scheme and forms part of our ambition for the City to be a leading waterwise community.
