Weekend Weed Swap

If you remove gazanias or fountain grass from your garden, we will replace them with FREE local native plants that are good for the environment, save water, and attract birds, butterflies, and other native wildlife.

Gazanias and fountain grass are harmful weeds declared under the Landscape South Australia Act 2019. They can spread easily from gardens and take over natural areas, pushing out native plants and reducing food and shelter for wildlife.

What you need to do:

1. Sign up (you can sign up to collect plants from either Hove or Hallett Cove. See this link for the Hallett Cove event)
2. Remove any gazanias and/or fountain grass from your garden (whether it's one plant or a patch).
3. Take a photo of the plants you’ve removed (don’t bring them with you).
4. Dispose of the gazanias and fountain grass in your green waste bin (don’t dump them anywhere else).
5. Bring your photo to the event with a bucket, and you’ll get 10 free local plants for your garden. You’ll also get a Coastal Gardens Planting Guide.
6. Plant your plants

Important:

• You can only get 10 plants per household or business.
• Book your place early because there are only limited plants available.
• Only book into one event, not both.
