Sarina Residents Green Up Their Gardens

Sarina residents embraced the sunshine and some leafy new additions to their backyards at the annual Green Up Sarina event.

Hundreds of locals turned out to the giveaway on Saturday, with more than 140 people pre-registered to collect their free native plants. Staff and volunteers were kept busy handing out a variety of species that will soon be taking root in gardens across the district.

The initiative, supported by Sarina Landcare Catchment Management Association, aims to encourage residents to plant natives that thrive in local conditions and support biodiversity.

Those who missed the event can still pick up a bargain, with plants available for just $3.30 each at the Sarina Landcare nursery, 101 Sarina Beach Road.
