 What a treat it was to kick off our 2025 season of Gardening Australia last week. There’s something really special for our whole team when we know that the stories we have been working on, are going out and reaching their destination: which is all of you, our loyal viewers! I spent a large part of last Friday speaking to radio stations around the country and it never escapes me just how special it is to be able to talk about the show from community to community and share some highlights around what is coming up across the year ahead. | | | |
