Travelling Plant Giveaways

Next date: Saturday, 12 September 2026 | 09:00 AM to 01:00 PM In theme with keeping our commitment to ‘greening the City’, our popular annual travelling plant giveaways are expected to take place between September and October. Find out more about these events here There are five giveaway sites across Blacktown City, one in each electoral ward. Residents can attend their closest one and collect two plants per property from a selection of native and exotic species. Nursery staff will be onsite to assist in selecting plants that will be appropriate for their garden. Terms and conditions of travelling plant giveaway program participants must be an owner or occupier in the Blacktown City Council local government area. Proof of this must be shown (for example: rate notice, driver’s licence). a limit of two (2) plants per residential allotment applies. A maximum of 2 plants per person. you may only collect 2 plants for one property at the travelling and local government week giveaways (this means you cannot collect for friends and neighbours, or multiple properties). We will honour multiple property ownership at the Blacktown Council nursery but not at travelling or local government week plant giveaways. This is so everyone can have an opportunity to collect plants on the day. 2,500 plants will be available at the nominated locations to the first 1,250 residents. residents must be present on the day to collect plants. this program is to be conducted strictly between the times designated (9 am- 1 pm) or until all plants given away. the plant entitlement from this event is additional to Council’s Nursery Giveaway program. Residents can still collect their annual allocation of 2 free plants from Council’s Nursery (Showground, Kent Street, Blacktown – Tuesday to Thursday, 9 am to 3 pm) each financial year.
