The problem your council is already trying to solve
Australian councils spend millions on organics diversion, sustainability education and community resilience programs. Residents want to grow food at home, but most don't know what to plant, when to plant it, or what their council already offers them for free.
Planting Season sits between your council's sustainability programs and the residents who should be using them. We drive awareness, engagement and measurable outcomes you can report on.
What your residents get (free)
Region planting calendar
A month-by-month calendar for their specific climate region. Not generic national advice. Covers 10 Australian regions from Darwin to Hobart.
Monthly localised emails
What to plant this month in their region, seasonal tips, and harvest reminders. Segmented by council area, not one-size-fits-all.
Council freebies directory
A page promoting your council's free plant programs, compost rebates, verge garden policies and FOGO rollouts. We drive clicks straight to your claim pages.
Garden planning tools
Drag-and-drop bed planner, companion planting intelligence, seed inventory, and watering reminders. Works offline as a progressive web app.
What your council gets
Automated monthly impact reports
Residents signed up from your LGA, freebie-page clicks sent to your programs, engagement metrics, and estimated food waste diversion. Generated automatically, emailed monthly.
Co-branded LGA page
A dedicated page for your council area with your branding, your programs, and local growing advice tailored to your residents.
Content for council channels
Monthly articles, social posts and newsletter content about what to plant in your region. Ready to publish on your council website and socials.
Quarterly workshop
A live "What to plant this season" workshop for your residents. Recorded and turned into evergreen content for your channels.
The reporting feature that wins renewals
Councils renew contracts based on reportable outcomes for annual reports. Planting Season generates your impact numbers automatically, every month. The sustainability officer's KPI is the report. We make it effortless.
