G.J. Gardner Homes and their 25,000th tree!
TREES PLANTED
Managing Director Ross Morley and I met over a cup of tea at a Melbourne business conference back in 2013. From that fateful meeting, G.J. Gardner Homes and Fifteen Trees have been in partnership, working together planting trees and supporting community projects. Every year across Victoria and Tasmania, 15 trees are planted for every new home built by GJG.
This special tree was planted as part of a group of 990 on the Bellarine Peninsula. Huge thank you to Ross for continuing his commitment to the environment.
Thank you also to GJG staff and management of the franchisees. In many cases, they have left their offices picked up a shovel and gone out into their communities to weed, remove exotic weeds and plant trees. They have provided not only ‘people power’ but have also provided BBQ’s, shade tents and refreshments. New connections have been made.
In 2016, GJG’s support looks something like this:
