? About the Native Plant Sale ?

We encourage you to plant natives in your gardens to increase and foster local biodiversity and establish biodiversity corridors throughout the City of Vincent, as well as create waterwise and low maintenance gardens and verges.

Join us at North Perth Common where there will be thousands of native plants from $1 and a variety of species available, including ground covers and small shrubs, to tall shrubs and climbers. A limited number of larger Kangaroo Paws and small trees will be available for $5.

We are updating the format this year to ensure everyone gets a chance to grab their favourite plants. We will now be running two sessions, allowing us to restock and prevent any disappointment caused by the events overwhelming popularity.

Bring a box or small trolley with you for your plants and free FOGO Compost.

?‍? Collect your free bag of FOGO Compost ?‍?

Vincent residents can collect one free bag of FOGO compost per household.

The FOGO compost is produced from the contents of your lime-green lid Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) bin and is a great soil amendment to apply to your garden prior to planting out your new native tube stock.

This high-quality product with added seaweed extract can be applied to native plants at a rate of one part compost to four parts sand or soil.

97 per cent of the contents of Vincent’s FOGO bins is recovered to be turned into this high-quality compost. This is the circular economy in action, right in our own homes.

Members of our Waste and Recycling team will be on hand to answer your waste sorting questions.

? Adopt a Verge Program ?

Redeem your 20 free plants at the sale if you have recently signed up to the Adopt A Verge Program. The program is proudly co-funded by Water Corporation Waterwise Greening Scheme and forms part of our ambition for Vincent to be a leading waterwise community.
