This time last week, I had the pleasure of being at the opening of the Horticulture and Garden Pavilion at the Royal Adelaide Show. It was also the official opening of Sophie Thompson’s show garden, and for those of you fortunate enough to have been to the show and seen it (or have seen photos of it), you would know what I mean when I reflect on the incredibly informative and engaging garden she presented called “Cool”. In fact, for anyone in South Australia, you still have tomorrow and Sunday to get along and see the garden and enjoy the show!

Jane and Costa check out Heide Museum gardens, Tammy tours a rare plant nursery, Sophie visits a colourful kitchen garden, Josh meets an expert to take the mystery out of pruning native plants and Hannah shares a tip to help protect crops from local wildlife.
