Grow It Local

Council has partnered with Grow It Local to support residents to grow food at home, compost organic waste and live more sustainably. Fraser Coast residents have free access to local events, online webinars, practical education and free limited seed deliveries twice a year in Autumn and Spring.

Grow It Local is a community program that encourages residents to grow food at home, compost organic waste and share gardening knowledge.

The program supports Council’s waste reduction and environmental goals by helping reduce food waste sent to landfill, promoting sustainable living, improving soil health and strengthening community connections.

Whether you have a big backyard, a balcony or a sunny windowsill, you can learn to grow your own food, reduce waste and discover a rewarding new hobby or expand on your growing knowledge.
