"My family & I have been waiting for somewhere like Mornington Green to open. Dad has been in “the shed” for the last 10 years & mum joined him there on the shelf 15mths ago. Since first reading about Mornington Green, it was a no brainer that, this was what we were waiting for. From our first meeting with Russell we felt this was going the last resting place for mum & dad. Although construction was still being carried out, it still felt peaceful and we could see the vision of what it would look like in future years. We cannot wait for planting to start and our tree to live on forever."

“I was enchanted by the surroundings and the foresight of the planners. They were accommodating, welcoming, informative and reassuring. Even though I have secured my place by making a refundable deposit, I am looking forward to deciding where I want my tree to be placed for the best outcome for the tree maybe by the lake or on the walkways you will be fully guided so rest assured. I am also starting my payment plan so that my family are not burdened with any financial outlay of their own, but instead can plan a picnic to be held under my tree may be on my Birthday, Mother’s Day or any time they fancy. Mornington Green is a beautiful, innovative concept that we are fortunate to have here on the Mornington Peninsula and I urge you to embrace this final legacy that you can leave your family and loved ones.”

"It was such a nice feeling for us to be able to be part of preparing our own resting place. With the freshness and freedom of such a beautiful location together with the knowing that our final location will be part of the environment as part of our favourite gum tree, the Citriodora, a tree that has been a part of our whole married life at our family home and it will continue to be here. Thank you for creating a concept that allows a more sustainable way of remembering our loved ones and benefiting the planet with reforestation."

"Dad and I enjoyed her [Mum] becoming a tree... As a mathematician and environmental scientist, we knew the first law of thermodynamics - that matter can't be created or destroyed, it just transforms."

"Mum loved best being out and about in the Aussie 'bush'. It is fitting she is now 'home among the gum trees'."
