Hosts
It was originally hosted by Peter Cundall, an experienced gardener with a passion for growing plants using organic methods.
Stephen Ryan succeeded Cundall in 2009. After 3 years at the helm, Stephen Ryan’s contract was not renewed by ABC, and a new host was announced in December as Costa Georgiadis.
Costa Georgiadis hosts the show and the program has presenters from around Australia. These include:
Segments
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.
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.
