Local Plant Subsidy Scheme
- Attachments
During the month of May City of Melville residents can purchase up to 30 local native seedlings for the subsidised price of $1.50 from APACE in North Fremantle.
The local plant subsidy scheme provides you with the opportunity to increase biodiversity in your backyard, create habitat, create links and corridors, save water and provide something beautiful for your garden that may become a talking point that will increase awareness of local flora.
City of Melville residents may select up to 30 plants from a wide range of colourful, low maintenance, waterwise plants. Plant numbers are limited so hurry in.
Plants can be obtained by visiting APACE at 1 Johannh Street North Fremantle.
Monday to Friday 9am - 4pm
Saturday 9am - 12pm (May only).
To help you start planning for planting you may like to visit the following websites:
The Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority website provides a good source of information to help get you started with gardening with native plants.
Gardening Australia is another useful resource for ideas, planting and care of your newly established local native plant garden.
The South East Regional Centre for Urban Landcare (SERCUL) Fertilise Wise campaign will help with choosing plants and creating a healthy garden that reduces impact on local waterways.
