Grow For It is the City of Canning’s annual free tree giveaway event, encouraging residents to green their verges, gardens and neighbourhoods.
Residents are invited to collect free trees on 3 May 2026 from 8am to 12pm at the Civic and Administration Centre, 1317 Albany Highway in Cannington.
The trees available are suitable for local conditions and contribute to making a cooler, greener and more liveable city.
The program supports the City’s broader urban forest goals by encouraging tree planting on private property. Increasing tree canopy helps provide shade, improve neighbourhood amenity, support local biodiversity and strengthen climate resilience over time.
At the event, residents will also be able to learn more about suitable tree species and the benefits of urban greening.
By choosing and planting a tree at home, you'll be making a real contribution to the City of Canning’s urban forest.
