Planting trees for the platypus.

TREES PLANTED

Ross Morley, Managing Director of G. J. Gardner Homes has been supporting our native environment (through Fifteen Trees) since 2013. By the end of this year, Ross and the team at GJG will have helped plant over 56,000 trees across Victoria and Tasmania. For every new home built, Fifteen Trees organises the planting of 15 trees in the local district. This year alone, the relationship between G.J. Gardner Homes and Fifteen Trees, will see over 11,000 trees planted by schools, landcare and various environmental groups.

  The partnership with Fifteen Trees, allows G.J. Gardner teams to go into the field for some team building activities as well as giving some support to the local community.
Luke O’Connor and Andrew Timms from G. J. Gardner Homes Melbourne South East are generous supporters of local community groups and their tree planting projects. This year Luke and Andrew purchased 315 trees for the the Belgrave Platypus Festival.  
Planting at the Platypus Festival
  Thank you to G.J. Gardner for supporting our Platypus Festival again this year. We had so many attend the festival. The event is growing bigger every year. Everyone enjoyed the tree planting sessions that ran throughout the day. The trees we planted under the larger eucalyptus trees will protect the soil from compaction and give the older trees a chance to continue to grow.

Many volunteers helped to plant the trees.
  Thank you Luke and Andrew for enabling this planting event to go ahead by purchasing 315 native trees and shrubs for your local community festival. Thank you also to the festival organisers for co-ordinating the planting on the day.

At the heart of every nunnery is, of course, charity. We love our partnership with the Brigidine Sisters and are impressed with their passion to give. That’s a long history of giving from these remarkable women, and we are not only benefactors of this kindness, as their other philanthropy does ripple out to myriad of other organisations as well.
