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.GJGLogo_NO-TAG_WHITE_BG_lrgBen Longhurst from G.J Gardner Homes Bacchus Marsh is a supporter of local community groups and their tree planting projects.

Hi Colleen,Coimadai Primary school is a small rural school located just outside Bacchus Marsh. We have 56 students in the school.The school had our tree planting day on the 14th of August. We planted 150 trees & shrubs in and around our school.Students worked in pairs. Senior students buddied up with the junior students. All staff were involved. Senior students dug the holes for the trees using the larger utilities and the junior students then helped prepare the holes and together they planted the shrubs and placed mulch around them before putting the tree guards in place.Moira Ross | Coimadai Landcare MemberThank you Ben and the team from G.J Gardner Bacchus Marsh for your continued support. In years to come, students from the primary school will be able to swing from the branches of your trees and play chasey around their trunks.Slainte – Colleen [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

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.

‘Tree planting is about far more than restoring the landscape, it’s about bringing people together to care for the places we all value. Thank you for your generous support for the farmers, students, volunteers and conservation partners who are helping create healthier habitat for Tasmania’s unique wildlife while inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards’.
