On the 4th of February 2021, coincidentally on the first anniversary of this website, I was contacted by Gardening Australia regarding a potential story on my garden. On 22 February, I had the pleasure of welcoming the Gardening Australia TV crew along with show host, Costa Georgiadis to my humble edible and cocktail garden. This is my story.
