We are committed to increasing tree cover and vegetation across our city, so each autumn we offer a free plant giveaway, allowing residents to collect up to five free tube stock native plants per household.
The plant giveaway program is open to all Kingston residents. You do not need to register – just attend one of our events and bring along your proof of address (a drivers licence, rates notice, or utility bill with your address).
We will be giving away approximately 1000 plants at each event on a first in, best dressed basis. You can select from a range of native trees, shrubs, grasses, and groundcovers.
