How would you like to receive four, free native plants to jumpstart your garden? If you’ve just purchased a newly-built home or recently moved into an owner-built home in Sinnamon Park, you may be eligible for just that.
Property-owners listed in several targeted suburbs such as Sinnamon Park may be eligible to receive the green gifts from Brisbane City Council, if they happen to own a newly-built home within the past 12 months.
Interest is high and not all species are available at every nursery, so interested residents are urged to email the Free Native Plants team right away, to put in a request for their vouchers. Some plants are subject to seasonal availability.
