The native trees were sourced from Neangar Nursery and Revegetation Plants.
G.J. Gardner Homes Bendigo are working with environmental organisation Fifteen Trees to reduce their carbon footprint. Sales and marketing assistant Reanna Barnett said it was satisfying to put their mark on the land. ‘The property owners were very appreciate of our efforts and invited us back in 12 months to check on the progress of the trees planted’.
This winter and spring, across the state, employees from G.J. Gardner Homes have been out planting trees to help reduce their carbon footprint. However, it is the Bendigo office that has planted the most trees. Five hundred went to Woodstock West while another 340 were planted on surrounding properties (more photos to come). All up 840 trees for this small dynamic community.
