The wheels of 2024 are on the roll and a big thanks to everyone who has come up to me this week letting me know how happy they are that Gardening Australia is back and their Friday night end of week jigsaw puzzle is now complete again! I’ve had so many great responses to the first episode; particularly referring to the amazing bird portrait story about Leila Jeffreys. So much so, that I watched it again and felt the same inspiration and that it shared with me the very first time that I saw it. A lady stopped me on the street as I was getting out of my car to head into the Geelong Football Stadium on Sunday to say how she’s always loved birds, but this story has pushed that interest to a whole new level! It means so much when the stories we compile and share can genuinely shift people‘s outlook.

Costa plans to landscape, Hannah stops codling moth, Josh discovers an unusual plant parasite, Sophie explores plant lore, Tammy highlights indoors plants that are safe for pets and Clarence explains the difference between organic and inorganic mulch.
