Thanks to all the volunteers and sponsors for participating in our planting day on the Weekend. It was a fantastic day! About 90 people turned out to help us on the day which was fantastic. Ipswich Queens Park Scout Group and the team from Nissan Warwick were some of the participants on the day. The Largest Organic Fruit Salad weighed in at 21.49kg and Metro managed 45 litres of hand squeezed lemonade which was really tasty! Thanks to Mr Organic of Toowoomba the fruit salad was very popular and was beautiful.  The kids had a fantastic time and it was well worth it to see them having so much fun planting. It was hard going on the day and hot so the kids did a great job. WILD World Records adjudicators Daniel and Annemarie Van Hees were very happy the records and are hoping to set some more at the next planting. Jigsaw Event Planners who donated their time and theming were an absolute must on the day and it could not have been so smooth without them. Thanks to the team at Jigsaw....

Treehenge staff will be planting a memorial tree for Daniel Morcombe on the day. There have been a couple more sponsors jump on board as well. Entice Me Catering has donated bread for the day, Masterfoods is helping out with our saucing requirements, Woolworths have dontated a $50 voucher for drinks on the day.
