Free plant voucher and in-kind grants
Each year, we provide residents with a plant voucher that can be used to collect two free plants for use in private gardens or to donate to a community group for their use.
The voucher will detail:
- a list of collection points and their opening times
- easy instructions for redeeming your plants.
How you receive your voucher
Vouchers are sent out with your general rates notice to every address in the Toowoomba Region.
If you receive your general rates notice by email, your voucher will be included as an extra page in your PDF attachment.

We offer a wide range of native and exotic plants for you to choose from. The types of plants available can change and are subject to availability at the time you collect them.
Where to use the plants
These free plants are provided to grow inside your property line and are not to be used for footpath plantings (footpath plantings are not permitted).
