Today a kilometre of the indigenous Celtis Africana trees were planted alongside Cedara road, from the Rotunda in towards Hilton. This Tree Planting Initiative was suggested to HiltonVillage.co.za by Andrew Morphew of Avidity Real Estate, the exciting idea of making Hilton more beautiful was shared amongst clients of HiltonVillage.co.za and pledges quickly came in to buy and plant 100 white stinkwoods. These trees will present an increasingly beautiful welcome to all Hilton visitors and residents entering from the Cedara on-ramp. We are grateful to Avidity Real Estate, Pam Golding Properties especially Gwyneth, Maureen and Rogan, Harcourts Hilton, Green Door Environmental, Tasha's Fantastic Fudge, Carey at RE/MAX, Hilton Clothing, Lindsay's, Ronnoco Nursery and Nicolson's Country Cafe for buying trees as well as to Mondi Group who will be ensuring water is trucked in weekly for the trees.
Alex March from Nkosi Indigenous Nursery did a marvellous job in completing the planting, his prices are unbeatable and he follows through with service as promised.
Going forward our plan is to repeat this type of project each September in honour of Spring and Arbor week, it is a way to give back to Hilton, the community and an investment in the future.
