Friends of Emerald Lake Park and Cardinia Shire Council are hosting a ‘Trees for Weeds’ swap day at Emerald Library on Saturday 3 September.

Residents are invited to come along with a sample of weeds to swap for a free native plant from 10:00am to 2:00pm on the day.

Experts will be happy to help with identifying weed species and offer advice on ways to control weeds on your property, as well as some free indigenous plants to take home.

Emerald Library is located at 400B Belgrave-Gembrook Rd, Emerald.

Everyone is welcome, and reminded to bring their weeds with them.
