Description
Indigenous (locally native) plant tube vouchers are available to schools, community groups, and residents through specific programs at various times throughout the year. This includes our environmental weed swap program, and the Backyard Biodiversity project.
Supplies for School Gardens
Each school and kindergarten in Boroondara can apply for biodiversity garden materials once every financial year - this includes 50 indigenous plant tube stock.
What is tube stock?
Tube stock is essentially immature plants that are early in their development, at the seedling growth stage. It's a baby plant that you can help grow to support our local environment and wildlife.
