Tree Planting at Brigid’s Paddock.

TREES PLANTED

Sr Anne from the St Brigidine Order has taken me a little under her wing and has galvanised many of the Sisters around Australia to carbon offset their vehicles with Fifteen Trees. As a result, this year I have planted 300 trees on their behalf and the lovely thing is … the trees have all been planted on land donated to the Order.

Down at Shoreham at Brigid’s Paddock, 300 trees were planted earlier this year by a host of nuns and volunteers.

A well earned cuppa.
Last year, the Sisters planted out 200 trees and as you can see (below) they are coming along beautifully.

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.
