Plants to Residents
Council-subsidised waterwise native plants for local residents

Helping households create habitat with waterwise gardens.

EnviroHouse is proud to run the annual Plants to Residents program in partnership with the City of Bayswater and Town of Bassendean, giving residents access to subsidised waterwise native plants for their properties.

Tickets typically open in late April, with plant collection in late May and June.

The 2026 program has now wrapped up — thank you to everyone who took part! Check back here for next year's dates and booking details.

🌱 Volunteer to help

EnviroHouse runs on volunteer power and it takes a huge number of volunteers and volunteer hours to organise and distribute thousands of plants to residents!

Planting Guide

Dig a hole roughly twice the size of the pot.

Gently tip out plant

Add 1 tablet or teaspoon of slow release fertiliser (optional).

  1. DIG - Dig a hole roughly twice the size of the pot.
  2. ADD - Add a generous spadeful of soil improver. Mix in well.
  3. WET - Fill hole with water. If water doesn't drain quickly consider using a soil wetting agent (follow product directions).
  4. FEED - Add 1 teaspoon of slow release fertiliser (optional).
  5. PLANT - Remove your plant gently from the pot (tapping the top rim with a trowel can help). Place it in the hole and backfill, firming the soil gently by hand. Create a shallow saucer around the plant to assist with watering.
  6. DRINK - Water well to settle in your new plant.
  7. AFTERCARE - Regular watering after planting is important, especially through the first couple of summers. If conditions are dry water once per week, ensuring the soil is well saturated. During heat waves consider watering twice a week.
