Illab_0976[1] — Community Planting Day at Illabarook.

The gorgeous company Angus & Celeste (fine jewellery and accessories) have become new Fifteen Tree supporters. They have committed to donating $1.00 from every sale from their beautiful range of jewellery, clothing and home wares. If you love locally made products (and who doesn’t), bright colours and quirky designs then have a look at what this Australian company produces.

As a result of Angus & Celeste’s green vision, 80 trees have been planted by the Ballarat Environmental Network (BEN) at the Illabarook Rail Reserve (Central Victoria). The group planting the trees have written below.

Dear Colleen,

At the Illabarook Planting Day, we had members of the York St Play Group join us to have a lovely two hour planting session with their children. Cheers, and thanks once again for your terrific support; paying for the trees planted at these activities will enable our Caring for our Country grant to be driven further than originally planned.

Hedley Thomson (Ballarat Environmental Network).

I am delighted to have Angus & Celeste as partners with Fifteen Trees. Our aim is a simple one – to restore our native environment by supplying trees to those who are willing to do the hard work and go out to plant them.

Cheers – Colleen

The number of trees planted with the assistance of Fifteen Trees supporters – 4955.

A Subscription for the Planet. June Update.

June 20, 2025

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.
