Well I hope you’ve had a great week. I’ve got plenty to yarn about since last Friday! I was at the ABC in Sydney filming what they call ‘titles’ for Gardening Australia Junior. This involves doing things in front of green screens, stills photographs and other video content that is used across the whole series. It was great to catch up with some of the junior co-hosts who I hadn’t met, as well as rub shoulders with Clarence and Millie who are both part of the titles filming.

Jane tours a colourful rose garden, Costa visits a sustainable community hub, Jerry grows aromatic curry spices, Hannah looks at native orchids, Josh profiles beautiful banksias and Sophie shares tips on how to tackle aphids on roses.
