Our local native plants have occurred in Burnside for millennia. They support local animals and insects and are ideally adapted to our climate and landscape.
Growing and conserving local native species helps to conserve biodiversity by ensuring species survival and providing habitat to native animals and helps to preserve the unique character of our area.
All the plants are grown by volunteers at the City of Burnside’s Biodiversity Nursery. We use only local seed or cutting material to ensure conservation of our local genetics.
Local native plants come in a wide variety of forms, colours and for various types of soils. State Flora at Belair National Park also sells natives, including some that aren’t specifically native to Burnside or have genetics from other regions. We only grow local natives as these are best suited to contribute to biodiversity improvement in our region.
City of Burnside also offers residents, schools and community groups a voucher of up to $75 for advanced trees. Vouchers can be redeemed at participating nurseries. Find out more
Most of the plants we grow are planted in City of Burnside urban reserves, creek lines and hills face reserves by our Parks and Biodiversity teams.
Residents are not permitted to plant on Council land.
All verge plantings must be approved and be compliant with Council’s Verge Policy.
You can submit a Verge/Road Reserve Landscaping or Planting Application.
This year all donations collected by City of Burnside as part of the giveaway will be forwarded to a nominated environmental community group to help volunteers care for our environment. You can make a donation via PayPal or credit card when you place your order.
