Ipswich City CouncilGardeningFree Plant ProgramIpswich City Council provides a Free Plant Program each financial year to assist residents to develop a greener, healthier lifestyle. Over 500,000 trees have been distributed to the local community in the last five years, with this figure continually rising.
