What is gardening like in Aus?

[u/_Jensoon]

Hi All, I'm 23 years old from the UK and have been doing gardening for the last 4/5 years gaining a qualification in it.

In about a years time I'm looking to try get a working visa in Australia and come over to work and try and build a career in horticulture in Australia.

I just wondered what gardening was like in Australia. Are you planting out year round. Do you have distinct growing season's? Because obviously, being in the UK we only have spring and summer to really show off etc. And sometimes spring isn't even that good! Also, I'd appreciate some general tips for gardening in australia as I'm sure there are some differences.

Many thanks :)

A lot different.

You need shade. UV is high, hence you people falling into the suntouched category during summer.

Look into permaculture principals to establish a canopy.

Sweet, thanks so much for that. I'll write that down and be sure to research.

Geoff Lawton is the man when it comes to sustainability.
