Council Nursery
Council's Parks, Gardens and Cemeteries team delivers the horticultural, arboricultural and landscape services required to manage Council's parks, planted roadside landscaping, other Council property and free tree schemes.
Its aim is to provide attractive functional parks, shady tree-lined streets and unique roadside landscaping for the pleasure and future of residents and visitors to the Scenic Rim region.
Council operates a nursery at 73-81 Birnam St, Beaudesert (adjacent to Muriel Drynan Memorial Park) to propagate plants for use in Council parkland and for distribution to residents as part of the Annual Free Trees Program and for environmental initiatives.
Annual Free Trees Program
Scenic Rim property owners are entitled to two free trees each year per rates assessment (up to a maximum of 10 trees for multiple property owners).
Trees can be collected on any Friday (excluding public holidays) from Council's Birnam Street Nursery in Beaudesert between 9.30am and 3.00pm. A set number of trees will also be available at the following distribution points (between 8.00am and 12.00pm). Trees will be handed out on a first-in, first-served basis.
