Ross Morley, Managing Director of G. J. Gardner Homes has been supporting our native environment (through Fifteen Trees) since 2013 and has helped plant 1000’s of trees across Victoria and Tasmania. For every new home built, Fifteen Trees organises the planting of 15 trees in the local district. This year, the project will see over 7,000 trees planted by schools, landcare and various environmental groups.
Garry Cox and Gill Hardman from G. J. Gardner Homes Bass Coast (Cowes) are generous supporters of local community groups and their tree planting projects. This year, Garry and Gill purchased 435 trees for 2 local projects. Nada Johnstone from Newhaven Primary School planted 30 of the 435 trees, and Dave Bateman organised the planting of the other 405 at Jindara, Kilcunda.

Hi Colleen,We had a group of 7 to 10 year olds (from Inverloch primary holiday program) come out with Robbie Gray and his crew from BCLN to plant some of the trees. The kids did a fantastic job planting. This place will look very impressive in about 5 years time.Thanks again to GJG for the funding support for the plants.

Nada Johnstone and Catherine Rogerson from the Newhaven PS, organised parents and teachers to come to the school to help plant thirty trees with the children. From all accounts, the students had a great time and all involved were very appreciative of the trees.
Gill and Garry, you have both been fantastic supporters of Fifteen Trees and our tree planting projects. Thank you!

‘Sometimes there are really simple things everyone can do to reduce their carbon footprint. When staying at a hotel, choosing to skip the room cleaning and having a tree planted instead, is one of those things’. Hugo from Hotels for Trees.
‘We’re thrilled to team up with Fifteen Trees in this crucial effort. Koalas are an iconic Australian species, and with increasing threats to their natural environment, it’s never been more important to ensure they have access to suitable habitats.Planting these trees is just the beginning of a broader initiative to safeguard their future’. Ballarat Wildlife Park
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.
