With the kind help of the fabulous staff at the Nursery, we selected a wide range of trees that we hope will both attract and give shelter to the wonderful wildlife that inhabits our area. Very much looking forward to sitting back and watching them grow and develop into a broad and fantastic corridor of native trees!Thank You again for a marvellous initiative and for our much appreciated trees!Brett
Over in Epsom (Bendigo District), 60 trees were planted on adjoining properties to help stabilize the creek bed and attract native wildlife. These trees were paid for by a number of companies and individuals. Good friends, Julie Phillips and Ross Gillett carbon offset their van to provide 15 of the 60 trees for Epsom Creek. Siobhan McCuskey (b’itch body oils) and Erin McCuskey (yum productions) also kicked in with 15 trees each. And finally Jana Fisher (Boutique Financial Solutions) gave a gift of 15 trees to valuable clients (A & V Johnson).
Thank you to all my supporters for your continued interest in this little green company but more importantly thank you for your direct action in supporting those in rural Victoria who are looking after our native heritage.
Keep Warm

According to Sustainability Victoria, the average Australian lifestyle produces 15,000kg of carbon per year. If that sounds like a lot, it is! Over its lifetime, a tree can collect and store 268kg. This means, we each need to plant 58 trees per year to bring our individual carbon production down to zero. A little tricky for most of us to do in our own backyards, and this is where ‘A Subscription for the Planet’ comes in.
For hotels, embracing sustainability can strengthen brand loyalty, enhance their reputation, and help differentiate them in a competitive market. In this way, sustainable initiatives are not just good for the planet – they also make strong business sense, creating a win-win for hotels, their guests, and the communities and ecosystems they support.
There’s something quietly powerful about a person who decides, on their own, to do something good for the planet. No fanfare, no corporate mandate – just a simple choice to put a few trees in the ground. When hundreds of individuals make that same choice, something remarkable happens. Native forests are restored, wildlife corridors are rebuilt, and community groups across Australia get to do the work they love. So if you’ve ever purchased trees through Fifteen Trees, thank you.
