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 giving some support to the local community.

Thank you to G.J. Gardner for supporting our Platypus Festival again this year. We had so many attend the festival. The event is growing bigger every year. Everyone enjoyed the tree planting sessions that ran throughout the day. The trees we planted under the larger eucalyptus trees will protect the soil from compaction and give the older trees a chance to continue to grow. Festival Organiser | Platypus Festival | Belgrave

‘Nature is not a place to visit, it is a home that we all belong to, so it’s only fitting to give back’. This is a quote we heard a long time ago and it’s something that stuck with us and something we try to live by. Mark and Karyn Pemmelaar.
