a percentage of profits from the green house is donated to local conservation groups primarily the Cairns And Far North Environment Centre (CAFNEC) - the Far North's peak conservation group.
We also support many local community organizations throughout the year in smaller day to day ways wherever we can. And our in-house donation box provides Wildlife Rescue with a surprisingly significant amount of much needed funds - all through our customers' generous donation of their small change and change from purchases.

USED STAMPS NOW SUPPORT THE LIONS CLUB AUSTRALIAN CHILDRENS MOBILITY FOUNDATION : After decades of collecting, sorting and cleaning used stamps for Amnesty International the lovely Silvia is retiring from the stamp biz. Thankfully the Lions Club of Edmonton has stepped in to the breach and president Barry Donnelly sounds like the perfect man to pass the baton to - having handled over 220,000 stamps since 2001 in support of the Childrens Mobility Foundation which provides mobility aids to children in need (anyone can apply). Thank you Silvia and Barry and all our wonderful customers who bring in bags, boxes, envelopes and even albums of used stamps. This is the website which explains all about the Children's Mobility Foundation - www.lionsclubs.org.au/alcmf/ - |
We also support through donation of prizes and gift vouchers as well as sales of items such as stickers, calendars, cards and diaries such worthy organizations as Amnesty International, The Wilderness Society and the Australian Conservation Foundation, Rainforest Rescue.
