Every quarter, Asha Celeste Cato and Keir Angus MacDonald from Angus & Celeste donate $1.00 for every on-line purchase made from their beautiful ceramic and porcelain store. This means that every season, Fifteen Trees can plant out 75 trees on their behalf.
St Luke’s Primary School were the recipients of 30 of their trees.
Olivia Hill (Grade 5) writes … On Friday the 26th of July, the Year 5 students from St Luke’s Catholic Primary School planted their trees for National Tree Day. We are planting native trees for National Tree Day to show that we are Australian. We are also planting native trees to attract native birds, insects and animals. A group of people called Fifteen Trees bought the trees for us from a nursery called Billabong Nursery Complex. We chose Billabong because it supports people with a disability. Just like the motto for National Tree Day this year, we got outside and grew!By Olivia Hill (Year 5)

The other 45 trees were planted by Lisa Mahon who lives in Dunolly. She is part of the Gravel Hill Seed Savers Group and an active member of her local Landcare group.

Huge thank you to Asha and Keir for your ongoing support. Your trees are being grown far and wide across the state.

Each year, Fifteen Trees plants native trees for every new home built by the Wodonga team. A tangible and lasting contribution to the local environment.
Chris and Sharri Longmore from G.J. Gardner Homes Shepparton are generous supporters of local community groups, and their tree planting projects. To date, Chris, Sharri and their team purchased almost 3,000 native trees for the Goulburn Valley district.
According to Sustainability Victoria, the average Australian lifestyle produces 15,000kg of carbon per year. If that sounds like a lot, it is! Over its lifetime, a tree can collect and store 268kg. This means, we each need to plant 58 trees per year to bring our individual carbon production down to zero. A little tricky for most of us to do in our own backyards, and this is where ‘A Subscription for the Planet’ comes in.
