We need more Green, not less! The SA Govt’s own “Green Adelaide” mandate is “working towards a cooler, greener, wilder and more climate-resilient metropolitan South Australia that celebrates our unique culture.”

Thanks to the great team of volunteers at our first garden rescue for 2026! Saved plants and cuttings from a soon-to-be demolished Warradale property. Rescued plants will go to Semaphore Park Community Garden, regional Lifeline stores, Habitat for Humanity ReStore and volunteers’ gardens. Roses, cannas, snake plants, pots and garden pavers were also collected by the legends from Unley Gardener's Plant Rescue on their 6th pick-up for the day!!

Now that the weather has cooled, Garden Demolition Rescue is starting up again!

Please contact us via our website if you have plants to be rescued due to demolition or renovation. We save plants that can be removed by hand-digging - we don’t have the capacity to remove large plants or trees. We do take cuttings and collect seeds too. https://www.gardendemolitionrescue.com/contact

Our first garden rescue for 2026 will be this Saturday. Saving plants such as roses, sword ferns, geraniums, snake plants and other succulents before an old house and garden is demolished 🙏🏼💚♻️

Our volunteers may keep some plants, give some away to friends and family, and/or we donate to Unley Gardener's Plant Rescue and Habitat for Humanity ReStore South Australia 🙏🏼💚♻️

Contact us here if you know of a garden property about to be demolished, or just to say hello!
