Bok Bok B’Gerk is the brainchild of Michelle Boehm an extremely talented women with an eye for humour and colour. Michelle designs and constructs the most adorable brooches and earrings. During July, Michelle ran a promotion where she would purchase one tree for every brooch sold. After only a couple of days, Michelle had the funds to purchase 30 trees for our local community.
The trees went to a Ballarat family in Cardigan who are keen to revegetate their 4 acre property back into native bushland.

We had a fantastic day in the sunshine today planting our new trees. Thank you so much for your support in offering us this opportunity. We purchased a lovely property on 4 acres last year in which had very few trees planted. Sadly a couple of these have been severely damaged with the winds during this winter. These new trees are planted for the long term and we are hoping they will bring back the native wildlife that was once so prolific in this area.

Once again a huge thank you to Michelle at Bok Bok B’Gerk for your support of our natural environment. Your trees have gone to a great home in Cardigan where they will be maintained and watered over the coming dry seasons and in return will provide native habitat and a self-sustaining ecosystem.

WPA acknowledges that when it comes to environmental initiatives, its people are its strength. It has recently partnered with us to plant 15 trees for each hard-working staff member identified as a Sustainability Warrior.
Tasman Cottage already gives you a chance to reconnect with nature, yet its manager Nick has taken an important next step. He recently purchased 150 trees in collaboration with us here at Fifteen Trees, an action which ensures vital habitat for our native fauna, such as the unique Tassie Devil.
‘We believe that supporting community tree-planting initiatives is not only an investment in nature; it’s a commitment to a sustainable future. JEI Studio is committed to ongoing donations of 15 planted trees for every design and decoration service agreement’. Jessi Deakin.
