The amazing benefits of a street tree. Thanks Trillion Trees for this post!

STREET TREES 🌳 | There are so many reasons to embrace trees in your street and neighbourhood!

Here’s just a few:
☀️They cool our homes
❄️Reduce cooling and energy costs
🏡Help to define a neighbourhood’s character
💰Improve property values (research shows houses on tree lined streets are worth $1000s more than those on streets without trees)
🐝Encourage biodiversity and provide habitat for wildlife
🐶 Shade footpaths for you, your family and pets
🫧Clean the air
🌳Help improve your mental and physical health

If you don’t already have a street tree, why not approach your local council and request one?

Most councils have street tree planting programs and welcome your support for greener neighbourhoods across WA! 🌱

Ellenby Tree Nursery Visit - It was a lovely morning out in Bullsbrook with one of our clients to hand select some mature 500L trees and see what other amazing trees they have on offer.

They are always so helpful and knowledgeable.

Another Friday planting plan in motion! It is going to be an extensive plant list with a range of native and exotic trees and shrubs for a large property down south.
We will have edibles, perennials, hedges, deciduous shade trees, courtyard shade species, a vegetable/fruit tree garden and blending parts with a Mediterranean vibe.
Can’t wait to see it all installed!

I love that my garden can help provide food for my family. Garden-to-table with no transport, no chemicals and no plastic packaging involved. All the hard work pays off because the food always tastes much better than shop bought produce.

Banksia & lime have assisted the owners in developing the landscape concept, planting design and currently overseeing the installation.

Project Highlight: Independent Primary School Landscape Concept Plan

This year we were fortunate to be involved in developing a landscape concept plan and plant species list to satisfy planning requirements for an independent primary school in the greater Midland area.

We worked closely with the staff to incorporate a variety of edible landscapes (medicinal herbs, fruit trees, bush foods), shaded learning/play environments (yarning circle, classroom farming area) and the creation of a Noongar six seasons bush garden.

Working around the site's 1 in 100yr flood fringe extents, BAL fire rating/fire vehicle access requirements and the schools wastewater system made the process challenging but ever more rewarding.
The feedback from the school has been very positive with the Principal writing, “I’m really pleased with this design”.
