GARDENING AUSTRALIA

ABC TV, 7.30pm

If you’ve been missing host Costa Georgiadis’s lush beard – and his infectious, uplifting zeal – you can pause pining: he’s back and blooming with ideas with season 35 of his much-loved plant-loving series. With the promise of spring in the air, green thumbs are no doubt itching to grab the prime growing season with both hands. Sophie Thomson pro les a bunch of fragrant owers and meets a duo of da odil lovers. After the disaster of oods, Costa meets up with a community of hardy gardeners who are banding together to grow their own food again and Tammy Huynh traverses an amazing space with four distinct green walls heaving with subtropical plants.
