Make your mark on South East Queensland’s environmental legacy
Whether you have a large backyard or a small balcony with a pot, every contribution helps. Plant your seeds and be part of our region’s story.
Why native seeds make a difference
Native plants are uniquely suited to local conditions. They provide food and shelter for native wildlife, improve soil health, and help landscapes better withstand drought, floods, and extreme weather.
Even small actions, like planting native species in your backyard or on a balcony, can start a domino effect – feeding pollinators, supporting birds and helping wildlife thrive across the region.
As a bonus, they look great too!

How to plant your native seeds
Step 1: Choose your spot
Find a sunny place — in your garden, courtyard, or a pot on a balcony. Even small spaces work.
Step 2: Plant and water
Sprinkle the seeds onto loose soil or potting mix, gently press them down, and water lightly so the soil stays moist.
Step 3: Let nature take over
Keep watering gently and be patient. Some may take time to grow, but every seed helps.
No matter the size of your space, planting native seeds helps support local wildlife and ecosystems.
