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 :)

There’s a weekly tv show produced by our national broadcaster “ABC” called Gardening Australia and you should be able to view it (and all its episodes) via the ABC app- “iView”. There’s correspondents all over Australia and they talk about region specific issues. The Brisbane dude often talks about his garden, pests, propagating plants etc. It’s a pretty dorky show but I confess I love it and watch it regularly.
