Plant Library Program
Grow, share and connect through plants
Council is currently giving out 10 Plant Libraries, helping residents share plants, build gardening skills, and strengthen local connections. Plant Libraries encourage reuse, reduce waste, and support greener neighbourhoods.
A Plant Library works like a book library - community members can borrow, swap, propagate, and return plants, seeds, or cuttings, keeping plants and knowledge circulating locally.
Why get involved?
Plant Libraries help to:
- Reduce waste and unnecessary consumption
- Build gardening skills and confidence
- Support local biodiversity
- Strengthen community connections
They are community‑led and can be hosted by residents, community groups, schools, or organisations.
