 I’d like to start off this week by saying a big thank you to everyone for your support of the launch of Gardening Australia Junior last Friday night - saying not only how much they enjoyed the first episode, but also the other episodes that dropped onto iView over the weekend. As I said previously, this is a really big opportunity to build an extended foundation to Gardening Australia and provide a totally Australian made children’s production that connects the next generation to nature. | | | |

Gardening Australia Junior |
|
Costa, Hannah, Clarence and Tammy have teamed up with ABC Kids to make a gardening series for junior gardeners.
Have you always wanted to make a compost cauldron? A bee hotel? A rainbow vegie patch? Then this is the show for you and your kids!
Across 20 episodes, the team will inspire families around Australia to roll up their sleeves and get out into the beauty and hard work of the garden!
Gardening Australia Junior brings a vital First Nation voice across the series through a collaboration with Aboriginal-led horticultural organisation Wildflower, and Cudgenburra/Bunjalung man Clarence Slockee. Clarence leads the young green thumbs in a Native Garden segment.
Catch new episodes of Gardening Australia Junior every Friday, 7.05pm on ABC Kids – the perfect end of week viewing for the whole family.
