WELCOME TO A NEW YEAR OF GARDENING!

It’s Christmas and we are excited about family time, holiday projects and summer gardening.

We’re also looking forward to an amazing 2019, as Gardening Australia celebrates its 30th year of bringing gorgeous gardens, inspiring people and great ideas to gardeners right across the country.

We have some super-exciting plans in store in our 90-minute Birthday Special, including looking back at the way we were – embarrassing hair styles included – as well as how the Aussie garden has evolved, some standout plants from over the decades, and a few unforgettable TV moments. We’ll also show you exactly how an episode of Gardening Australia is made (above), and meet up with past presenters. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a birthday episode without a party and cake!

So much to look forward to in the New Year. In the meantime, if you missed the Christmas special (see below), catch up on ABC iview, and we’ll see you when the show resumes on Friday, February 1.
