G.J. Gardner Homes Ararat join in with tree planting.
TREES PLANTED
Ross Morley, Managing Director of G. J. Gardner Homes has been supporting our native environment (through Fifteen Trees) since 2013 and has now helped plant over 25,000 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 8,500 trees planted by schools, landcare and various environmental groups.

Successful planting today at Tatyoon. We planted 210 of the 270 trees today and the remaining 60 will be planted as soon as lines are sprayed out. Ararat Rural City staff were also on site helping Andy and his crew. Maroona PS students and staff did a great job with help from Cathy from G.J. Gardner Homes. The planting was registered with Planet Ark as a National Schools Tree Planting Day.
Good work everyone. Una Allender | Upper Hopkins Land Management Group

Thank you Una and your team for finding a site for our trees (270). And of course, a huge thank you to Sally and Ashley Heard for their on going support of their local community and their tree planting projects.

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.
