With the support of G.J. Gardner Homes Ballarat, local primary school students from St Francis Xavier planted 180 native trees on their school grounds. Sustainability Teacher, Sarah Page coordinated the day which coincided with National Tree Day. Throughout the day, students came out of their class rooms to plant a tree. Sarah started with a ‘how to plant a tree’ session and with lots of parents on hand to help, all trees were in the ground by the end of the day.

A huge thank you to Rob and his team from the Ballarat office who worked tirelessly all day to provide some much needed muscle to the proceedings. G.J. Gardener Homes in Victoria and Tasmania has committed to pay for 8,000 trees this calender year. These 180 are just a start.

We have a handful of individuals, organisations and companies, who purchase trees when they can. These people are masters of ingenuity when it comes to incorporating tree planting into their business practices.
Envirotecture set the bar high when it comes to environmental commitment and achievement. Not only do the team build stylish and sustainable properties Australia-wide, they back up that commitment by sponsoring our native tree planting projects.
‘We believe that supporting community tree-planting initiatives is not only an investment in nature; it’s a commitment to a sustainable future. JEI Studio is committed to ongoing donations of 15 planted trees for every design and decoration service agreement’. Jessi Deakin.
