We don’t like to forget the birds, bees and butterflies.
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 44,000 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 project will see over 11, 000 trees planted by schools, landcare and various environmental groups.
Steve and Rebecca Moore from G. J. Gardner Homes Melbourne East are generous supporter of local community groups and their tree planting projects. This year, the Melbourne team purchased 270 trees for National Wattle Day at Fairpark Reserve in Ferntree Gully. They then went out to help plant!
Mayor John Mortimore & volunteers
This event was held on Wattle Tree day an annual event in Knox. Attended by 35 volunteers from Friends of Blind Creek Billabong, members of the public, Knox Mayor, local councillors, G.J.Gardner Homes, Knox Bushland officers and the local Fire brigade – who watered the trees both before & after planting.
The trees and shrubs will enhance the natural values along the creek and making it a more attractive place to walk. Of course, I don’t like to forget the birds, bees and butterflies which will all benefit from this planting. This will be an amenity enjoyed by all.
A big thanks to all at Fifteen Trees and G.J Gardner for their support in this project.

‘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.
