I had the pleasure earlier this week of catching up and filming with Clarence for Gardening Australia Junior. It’s kind of funny how on the show, it feels like all of us presenters are just in different parts of the garden and when an episode finishes, we gather for a cup of tea or dinner and a get together. But the reality is that we are all over the very big garden of Australia, each doing our thing, and we don’t get to spend that much time together.

Costa gets a taste of Kakadu cooking, Clarence leads us through his gardening journey, we visit a team passing on Arrernte language through plants, Jerry celebrates the Bunya Pine and Josh learns to identify Noongar seasons.

Josh learns how the seasonal calendar of Perth’s traditional custodians relies on observing the subtle changes in nature through the year.

Jerry joins a joyous cultural event that celebrates the iconic bunya pine and its connection to local identity.
