Did you know that Fifteen Trees now offers  free mature trees to community groups in the Ballarat district! I can provide  2-3m tall Golden Ashes, English Elms, Claret Ashes, Silver Birches, London Plane and even orchard trees.

  “Dearest Filippa,  Thank you so much for the opportunity to receive two trees via your generous project.  The trees are to be the very first plants that will establish a new garden surrounding an old church in Ballarat. The small church grounds have been neglected for many years, and so these trees are particularly […]

Thanks to the generous support of Pam Whiteroad from CVGT Ballarat (who carbon offset 3 of their vehicles) and Andrew Howard from Pack and Send in Howitt St (with […]

“It has taken a little longer than planned to get our trees in the ground, due to the unusual wet winter (great for a change). With the good moisture levels in the soil the trees are doing well. Our trees will provide habitat for native birds, which have increased in number and variety over the […]
