Rob’s Horticulture has a dedicated following in NSW’s Wollondilly, Macarthur & Wingecarribee. Their lawn and garden care programs are just the tip of their professional iceberg, with a team of gardening experts committed to maximising their clients’ investment by fostering a healthy and vibrant garden all year-round. Taking care of the whole system, starting with the soil, is a key part of Rob’s method. Qualified horticulturalists provide disease and pest identification and control which do not compromise plant, human and animal health.

Rob’s Horticulture annually purchases trees for us to plant on their behalf. The trees are distributed to community groups for planting and are sourced from native nurseries to ensure the seedings are grown from indigenous seed collected from the local area.

Bombay, NSW | 50 trees planted | 2025

The 50 trees were planted in the the upper Shoalhaven River catchment district, 14km to the southwest of Braidwood on the traditional lands of the Ngarigo and Yuin nations. Conservation reserves in the area include Tallaganda National Park and Tallaganda Conservation Area.

This region is predominately made up of vegetation associated with Dry Sclerophyll Forests.  The Eucalyptus tree canopy is sparse to mid-dense and consists predominately of Broad Leaved Peppermint, Red Spotted Gum and Scribbly Gum. The occasional Black Sheoak forms part of a sparse small tree layer. The Bombay region is also home to the critically endangered Bombay Bossiaea, a wiry shrub, with pea shaped yellow flowers growing in the steep valley of the Shoalhaven River.

We are absolutely delighted to benefit from your wonderful generosity.  The local land owners who form the Bombay Landcare Group take great pride in their efforts to put back into the local environment. We have used your donation to purchase ‘fit for purpose’ local species to regenerate the land. From the prevention of erosion to building wildlife corridors, the regeneration effort of our group will no doubt have a positive and lasting impact on the region.

Some of the species of trees planted at the site included; Wattles (Snowy River, Silver, Green and Blackwood), Hakeas, She-Oaks and Gums (Black, Red Spotted, Yellow Box, Black Sally and Ribbon), Bottlebrushes (Riber, Scarlet, Lemon and Crimson) and Tea trees.

Carwoola, NSW | 40 trees | 2024

The trees planted were a mixture of Yellow Box, Red Box, Scribbly Gum, Apple Box, Black Wattle, River Bottle Brush and Boxleaf Wattle. These trees will grow to provide both large tree canopy and understory links from the native vegetation reserves on the nearby road corridor.

Thank you for the wonderful support that has givn me the motivation to increase the vegetation on my property. I’m confident that with care, these plantings will positively impact our environment and be there for the next generation to enjoy.
