Greening our Shire Plant Giveaway
September 16, 2020 @ 9:30 am - October 31, 2020 @ 3:00 pm
Spring is here and our plants are ready to be planted.
Due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, the way we are running our tree collection and native plant giveaway events has changed. Entry and collection of plants is by appointment only.
During September and October every Wednesday between 9.30am and 3pm and every second Saturday between 9.30am and 12 midday, there will be a limited number of appointments for you to collect your trees and plants at the community nursery. If you wish to make an appointment please follow the link to the trybooking website and enter your details in your preferred 15min time slot. https://www.trybooking.com/BLMHS
Residents are able to collect 2 trees and/or 4 plants.
The Community Nursery is located at 28 Britannia St Pennant Hills Gate 2 https://goo.gl/maps/5PhGRUk8ghapsqXD7.
