Last week, I had the chance to share with you how much I enjoyed the Toowoomba show and how important I believe shows are in growing creative pathways, community identity and a sense of involvement and inclusion. Well, next stop after Toowoomba was the South Australian Autumn Garden Festival, but a couple of things took place before the festival itself on the Sunday. | | |
|
|
|
Hannah tours a mushroom farm, Millie explores a wildflower reseeding project, Jerry reflects on his 20-year-old garden, Josh investigates the destructive Polyphagous Shot-hole borer, Costa visits a tropical oasis and Jane profiles epiphytic ferns. | | |
|
|
|
Jane looks at some beautiful epiphytic ferns to add to your plant collection. | | |
|
|
|
Costa tours a lush garden layered with dense, jungle-like greenery evoking a tropical getaway feel. | |
|
|
|
Can you name the plant? (Bonus if you know the botanical name too!) |

Watch the show tonight to find out if you got it right! The answer will be in next week’s newsletter! |
