Ross Morley, Managing Director of G. J. Gardner Homes (in partnership with Fifteen Trees) has been supporting our native environment since 2013. Offices in Victoria and Tasmania, support the planting of 15 trees for every new home built. This year, this will add up to over 7,000 trees for schools, landcare and various environmental groups.
Andrew Womersley from G.J Gardner Homes Warrnambool, purchased 240 trees for the Hopkins Falls Landcare Group. This dedicated group work on local re-vegetation projects.

Jane O’Beirne writes – “Our National Tree Day planting at Hopkins Falls went really well considering weather was at its worst, hail, rain and odd glimpse of the sun. We even had a BBQ cooking with layer of hail on top of sausages – which was impressive. About 20 super keen volunteers who worked really hard and we managed to get over 600 trees/grasses planted which was amazing effort given the harsh weather. Thank you G. J. Gardner for the contribution of 240 trees to our project. Our focus was on creating a new wind break against a fence line close to Falls which will provide some shade in summer and shelter from wind once established.”
Thank you to Ross Morley and Andrew Womersley for your continued support of local community group who work hard to improve their native environment.

CAVAL annually support our community tree planting projects by purchasing trees for us to distribute to community groups to plant. This year, we planted 90 trees on their behalf at Hindmarsh in South Australia and another 10 at the Kaarakin Cockatoo Conservation Centre in WA.
Tambo Bluff Landcare Coastcare Inc. recently welcomed extra sets of hands to their planting day when the team from G.J. Gardner Homes joined the local Landcare group to help plant native trees and shrubs.
‘This is a picture of my favourite tree on our campus, a Lemon Scented Gum (spp. Corymbia citriodor), and even though it isn’t endemic to our area, it thrives. I love the scent that it gives off on a warm, humid day after a rain shower’. Keitha Theodore.
