Have you always wanted to make a compost cauldron? A bee hotel? A rainbow veggie patch? Then this is the show for you and your kids! ABC is thrilled to announce a brand-new spinoff series, Gardening Australia Junior, that premiered on ABC Kids in September.
Hosted by gardening guru Costa Georgiadis, the series guides kids and their families through the wondrous world of gardening. From the luxurious open country to the smallest balcony gardens, wherever something grows, Gardening Australia Junior will be packed with gardening tips, tricks and activities that all kids will dig.
Costa is joined by familiar Gardening Australia faces — Tammy Huynh, Clarence Slockee and Hannah Moloney, alongside keen junior gardeners who tackle a fun new backyard gardening project each week.
Across 20 episodes, Costa and team 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.
Original music for Gardening Australia Junior composed by Lachlan Nicholson, led by music consultant Joff Bush — who also makes music for hit ABC Kids series Bluey!
Catch new episodes every Friday on ABC Kids — the perfect end of week viewing for the whole family or anytime on ABC iview.
