Opening Hours: Tuesday and Thursday, 9 am – 2 pm
Each financial year we offer residents free plants for planting on their property. It’s all part of our commitment to ‘green the City’.
You can collect your annual allocation of plants from our Nursery once per financial year at Kent Street, Blacktown (inside Blacktown Showground). The nursery is open to the public from 9 am to 2 pm Tuesday and Thursday.
Residents can collect two plants per property from a selection of native and exotic species. Nursery staff will be onsite to assist residents in selecting plants that will be appropriate for their garden.
Nursery Open Days are provided for residents who can’t pick up their annual allocation during weekdays.
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 per financial year (July - June) applies.
We will honour multiple property ownership (with proof of ownership) at the Council nursery but not at travelling or local government week plant giveaways. Plants are expected to be planted on the allocated properties.
Persons may collect on behalf of other people if they have their written consent and proof of residency.
This program is to be conducted strictly between the times designated (9 am to 2 pm).
