Recently, due to the generosity of this caring couple, 10 mature trees were planted at Phoenix College, Sebastopol. The trees went onto the school grounds and over time will provide shade to the playing children as well as habitat for native insects, birds and mammals. These 10 trees, now take Harrison’s total tree tally to 640! An amazing contribution to the environment of schools, parks and reserves across the Ballarat district.

Only sticks now … but wait a little while!

 

The students were very grateful to be able to plant fruit trees around our up and coming vegetable garden on the senior campus. Students had been learning about the importance of eating fruits and vegetables, and the advantages of home grown food. We had been out to Avalon Nursery on an excursion and they had chosen their fruit trees themselves after learning which ones need two of the same kind for cross pollination.

We are looking forward to watching the trees flourish over the next few months/years, and are so thankful to Brian and Maree Harrison.

Once again, a huge thank you to Maree and Brian Harrison for supporting our beautiful Ballarat primary schools by purchasing trees for their school grounds.
