Some homeowners have planted peaches and apricots previously and are keen to plant more trees. They realise that there is a need to establish projects in Boipatong to encourage and maintain a clean and green environment for community members and have expressed great appreciation for this generous support from our Plumtree Project.

Trees were also planted in Delft, Kwazulu-Natal and Quarry Heights in the Western Cape.

The project is being run in conjunction with Food & Trees for Africa, Trees for Homes programme and every time one of our clients purchases jewellery from the Browns Private Collection, we plant a tree on their behalf. Trees for Homes creates healthy, sustainable environments, provides temporary employment for unemployed volunteers, transfers skills through training workshops and conducts intensive awareness and education door to door in the recipient community. This is empowering residents to better understand and look after their environments.

“The project is close to our hearts as it directly affects the lives of children. We chose fruit trees so children could experience the wonder of nature’s cycles, and enjoy the sweet abundance of her harvest for themselves,” said Larry Brown.

At Browns we are involved in a number of social awareness programs from The Browns Academy where we train master jewellery craftsmen to Making a Difference in child-headed households. Click here to read more about our social responsibility programs.
