Plants up for grabs

The City of Casey’s annual Plant Giveaway is back this month.

Help grow a greener City of Casey with the annual Casey Plant Giveaway returning to three local shopping centres this week.

Casey ratepayers can claim two free, native plants when Council presents the program for the 16th year running.

By collecting your plants you can gain a sense of community and contribute to creating a better natural environment for all by participating in the revegetation program.

The initiative also helps kick off World Parks Week, and contributes to Council’s Growing a Green Web program, which aims to involve the community in the rehabilitation of indigenous vegetation across the municipality.

Council asks ratepayers to present a proof of residence when collecting plants.
