Gardening Australia – The Latest Series

Gardening Australia is a gardening show for Australians who want to create beautiful gardens with the minimum of time and effort. It provides practical, realistic, and credible horticultural advice that inspires and entertains gardeners all over the country.

The program airs on ABC TV every Friday at 7.30pm and is repeated Sunday at 1.30pm and is also available to watch on ABC iview. The program is hosted by garden experts Jerry Coleby-Williams and Jane Edmanson, with guest presenters such as Millie Ross, Josh Byrne, Clarence Slockee and a host of regulars including Pete Cundall, Tom Doherty and Peter Rowland.

In the latest series, gardeners tour the tropical dream garden of a young couple in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, learn how to add colour to a sunny courtyard using trailing plants and meet a ceramic artist who uses native seed pods as his medium. We also get up close with some of the country’s most colourful birds and visit a garden that is both functional and artful.

In a special episode, the team tackle the challenge of creating a water-wise garden in a very tight space, and a new gardener seeks out ways to grow his or her favourite vegetables. We get an insight into the world of organic vegie growing with Peter Cundall, who shows us how to manage a patch over the course of a year, explaining all the jobs that need to be done each month and season.

A celebration of the life and work of the late, great, award-winning Australian broadcaster, author and ardent gardener, Peter Cundall. A long-time fixture on Australian talkback radio and an early convert to organic vegie gardening, Peter was well known for his 18 years hosting the popular Gardening Australia.

We look at the most interesting, inspiring and successful gardens from across the country, and learn how you can apply these principles to your own space. We also take a closer look at the key gardening trends set to emerge in 2022, as revealed by Greener Spaces Better Places’ new Plant & Gardening Trend Report.

The heavenly hydrangeas are in full bloom with this season’s stunning range of colours, from old favourites to dreamy new varieties.

And meet the ‘cape chestnut’, a little-known strappy native that gives jacarandas a run for their money with masses of orchid-like flowers in the warmer months.
