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 used to work in a place where we did alot of annuals. Stuff like petunias and marigolds in the the summer, and poppies and pansies in the winter. But yeah, they grow year round if it's warm enough
