Gardening Australia

Gardening Australia was originally hosted by Peter Cundall, an experienced gardener with a passion for growing plants using organic methods. Stephen Ryan succeeded Cundall in 2009.[1] After three years as host, Ryan's contract was not renewed by ABC. Costa Georgiadis was announced as the new host in December 2011[2] for the 2012 series.

In addition to the host, each episode contains segments which are recorded across Australia with local presenters. These include:

Cundall had a segment called Pete's Mailbag where viewers could ask questions or send in photographs or letters about their own gardens.

The show has several segments, which include all forms of gardening, from sculptural and artistic gardens to vegetable growing and xeriscaping. Most segments are filmed on location.

The program has an Ask It/Solve It section where people can submit their garden questions/problems to be answered by the presenters.

The 6 Bed Rotation Vegetable Crop (formally Pete's Patch) at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens is still in the show, now called 'The Vegie Patch' with Tino Carnevale presenting.[4]

The Vegie Guide is a new feature which suggests a range of vegetables that can be planted each month, in the broad climate zones around Australia.
