GJG and Grow West!
TREES PLANTED
Ross Morley, Managing Director of G. J. Gardner Homes has been supporting our native environment (through Fifteen Trees) since 2013. By the end of this year, Ross and the team at GJG will have helped plant over 56,000 trees across Victoria and Tasmania. For every new home built, Fifteen Trees organises the planting of 15 trees in the local district. This year alone, the relationship between G.J. Gardner Homes and Fifteen Trees, will see over 11,000 trees planted by schools, landcare and various environmental groups.
The partnership with Fifteen Trees, allows G.J. Gardner teams to go into the field for some team building activities as well as help support the local community.

It’s very exciting to run our annual community planting day at a location that will directly benefit the Werribee Gorge State Park. This will occur through nature corridors established on private properties. It is an ambitious project and by participating in the 2019 planting day, G.J. Gardner you are helping to reform this important nature corridor for threatened wildlife such as the Swift Parrot and Brush-tailed Phascogale. With a bit of work from dedicated volunteers, and your support in purchasing our trees, this park has the potential to be a significant community asset and improve the health of the local environment and community.
