What is gardening like in Aus? 🙉 Send help

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 :)

I’m in Brisbane and our low season is summer! We can grow all year round but you need to contend with bugs, sun, heat and drought or flood pretty much

There is a population tv show called gardening Australia and there is a YouTube channel - it always gives tips for the week and it’s broken up into regions and technically Brisbane and Sydney are both subtropical, there is levels apparently
