Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, Tas

With a 200-year history, this garden has a fond place in my heart.

It’s where Gardening Australia regularly films its TV show. Once called Pete’s Patch, the Tasmanian Community Food Garden is a great place to see organic production at its best. There’s always something fruiting or ready to pick. Smaller than I imagined from the TV, it boasts great take-home ideas. I love visiting because it reminds me of the importance of growing organic produce. It’s so inspiring. I just want to go home and get out my garden fork. From January, look out for the impressive range of heritage tomatoes, which look so good you want to taste them. gardens.rtbg.tas.gov.au, (03) 6166 0451
