Turn your green thumb into cash
Grown too many tomato seedlings this spring? Got a garden overflowing with succulents? Or maybe your local community garden is looking for a fun way to raise funds?
We’ve got some big news for anyone who loves plants or extra pocket money: Australia’s Biggest Plant Sale is back!
As part of this year’s Garage Sale Trail, we’ve teamed up with our friends at Grow It Local, WaterUps and Food2Soil - alongside support from Community Gardens Australia - to bring a green twist to the Garage Sale Trail weekends.
Whether you’re a backyard grower, a beginner propagating your first plants or part of a community patch, this is your chance to share the plant love, connect with local green thumbs and make some pocket money.
Why host a plant sale?
Hosting a plant sale isn't just about clearing space on your patio. It also brings your neighbourhood together to sell, shop and share gardening tips and tricks.
Here’s why hundreds of Australians jump on board every year:
- Connect with fellow green thumbs: You’ll meet neighbours, fellow plant lovers and new friends who love getting their hands dirty just as much as you do.
- Trade tips: From troubleshooting stubborn indoor ficuses to sharing local pest-control tricks, a plant sale is the ultimate venue for sharing knowledge and skills.
- Save gear & greenery from landfill: Give cuttings, extra veggie seedlings, pre-loved terracotta pots and forgotten tools a happy new home instead of letting them go to waste.
- Earn extra cash: Whether you're saving up for your next dream houseplant or fundraising for your local patch, plant sales pack a serious financial punch too.
In 2025, the average household pocketed $761, while community gardens raised $1,365.
