We’ll give you FREE soil and seeds to grow a small variety of seasonal produce at home! All ages welcome. City of Melville residents only.

Take our seeds, plant them, then take them home to grow! 

February Seeds: Heirloom Lettuce, Tomato, Chives and Bush Bean

Our Sow & Grow program is a casual drop-in session for City of Melville residents to plant seasonal produce seeds to take home before planting later in the season.

How it works

Bring your vessels to plant your seeds in, then drop-in to the City of Melville EcoHub any time during the session. Fill your vessels with soil provided by the EcoHub, then select a few varieties of seasonal produce seeds to plant. When you’re done sowing, sign up to Grow It Local for FREE growing guides and gardening workshops.

You must be a City of Melville resident to attend. Please bring a current ID or rates notice showing your name and City of Melville address.

What seeding ‘vessels’ you can bring 

Get creative and reuse what you have at home! Some ideas include:

·        Old seedling trays

·        Toilet rolls

·        Egg cartons

·        Paper shopping bags or newspaper folded into pots

·        Clean containers like butter tubs, yoghurt pots, or strawberry punnets
