FREE NATIVE TREES TO PLANT IN YOUR YARD

City of PAE residents can receive a free, native, tree to plant in your garden through the Get Shady program. This program aims to increase tree canopy, reduce urban heat and support biodiversity.

Small native trees (one per household) will be available for collection on a first-come, first serve basis anytime between 1pm-3pm on Saturday June 13th 2026 at the Parks Library, Angle Park.

Seven tree species will be available to choose from:

Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha)

Drooping Sheoak (Allocasuarina verticillata)

Silver Banksia (Banksia marginata)

Slender Cypress Pine (Calitris gracilus)

Mallee Box (Eucalyptus porosa) 

Native Apricot (Pittosporum angustifolium)

Quandong (Santalum acuminatum)

Information about each of these trees is available at Plant Selector Botanic Gardens SA. Knowledgeable staff will be available on the day to help you decide on the best tree to suit your property.

Large to medium native shrubs will also be available for those with smaller gardens that cannot accommodate a tree.

As this giveaway is only open to City of PAE residents, please bring along a form of ID such as driver’s licence, rates notice, or bill showing your name and address.

Registration is essential.
