00:00Whoooooh!
00:06Hey!
00:07Hi!
00:08Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma!
00:10Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:12Ooh!
00:18Hey!
00:19Hello?
00:20Hey, buddy.
00:22Hey!
00:24Whee!
00:27Oh!
00:28Hello and welcome to Gardening Australia.
00:37It's spring and I'm in Sydney's west exploring some of the best parks in Parramatta.
00:44It's gardening prime time and we're ready and raring to go with everything you need
00:50to get your productive season off to a great start.
00:54Here's what's in store.
00:55I'm going to do a few timely tasks to get the most out of this, well, transitional season.
01:03I call it springish.
01:05I'm visiting an artist and gardener who's transformed her bare paddock into a floral canvas that's
01:11just brimming with poppies.
01:13A garden for your cats?
01:15Sounds indulgent, but it actually makes a lot of sense.
01:19I'll be planting out a garden in a cat park.
01:22And we meet a pair lifting the rock on some elusive Tassie species.
01:34Spring is a time to think big in the garden and let your dreams go wild.
01:41I'm thinking colour, some colour and maybe a little bit more colour.
01:46And it seems I'm not the only one.
01:50Tammy's visiting a garden in the Blue Mountains that's going to get your inspiration metre peaking.
01:56Further on from the Three Sisters in Katoomba, over the Blue Mountains and down the other side,
02:06you'll find yourself in a picturesque valley that avid gardeners are drawn to.
02:14It's located in the scenic central west region of New South Wales, between Blackheath and Lithgow,
02:20approximately 150 kilometres north-west of Sydney.
02:25It's home to Hartvale Gardens and floral-loving artist and gardener, Jennifer Edwards,
02:31whose unrestrained love for colour has led her to create a garden tapestry full of beautiful old-fashioned blooms.
02:41Hartvale Gardens, five acres, is situated in a constantly shifting landscape,
02:46shaped by cloud patterns and seasonal changes.
02:51Hey, Jen!
02:52Oh, hey, Tammy!
02:54Welcome to Hartvale.
02:55Thank you. You've got an amazing garden here.
02:58Thank you. We love it here.
03:00Hartvale Gardens is a series of vibrant and relaxed spaces,
03:04maze-like, each with a unique character and purpose.
03:08Serpentine garden beds curve, mimicking the topography of the valley beyond.
03:12She shares this haven with her partner, Pete, a licensed builder, and their two moodles, Rusty and Teddy.
03:20Come on, Rusty! Come on, Teddy!
03:22Hello!
03:24Hartvale Gardens is a happy combination of two very different skill sets.
03:30So, this is our Potager garden.
03:33Oh, it's beautiful!
03:34Yeah, you can see we're trying to go with, like, a country, Australian setting.
03:39So, it's got a little bit of formality, but a little bit kind of playful as well.
03:43What are you growing here?
03:45Well, I've got some Italian spinach, which is really nice spinach, lettuce all year round.
03:50We've got zucchinis and cucumbers, Lebanese cucumbers, some asparagus and some beetroot as well.
03:58And, of course, flowers in the veggie garden.
04:01Jen can't leave without flowers.
04:03No.
04:03Always some flowers.
04:05I don't think it'd be your garden without a flower.
04:06No.
04:07What are your favourites in the garden?
04:12I love the Veronica.
04:14I love the Snapdragons.
04:16They've been a new thing this time.
04:17I found these gorgeous double Snapdragons in, like, yellows and oranges, which are just beautiful.
04:24And there's other colours around the garden as well.
04:26I absolutely love the Aquilegias, or Granny's Bonnets, as they're called.
04:31They go with the whimsical feel of this garden because they're just like little fairies' dresses.
04:37Another thing I love are the old-fashioned roses.
04:40Fantastic.
04:41And you've got gorgeous sweet pea towers?
04:44Yes.
04:44They were a new thing this year, the sweet peas.
04:46I just love the smell of them.
04:48They're really beautiful.
04:49In fact, I had a lady here in the garden the other day, and she had tears in her eyes because
04:54she just said, I haven't smelt sweet peas since I was a kid.
04:57A focal point of Heartvale Gardens that I've been most looking forward to seeing is the
05:06poppies.
05:08Jen, what do poppies mean to you?
05:10Poppies, when I'm just surrounded by these flowers, I just feel joy.
05:15And there's a sense of fun here as well.
05:17Like, I don't know if you can feel it, but it's like the whole garden's having a party,
05:22and we're just invited.
05:23Well, I'm glad we are.
05:27How would you describe them?
05:30I think they're whimsical.
05:32They just seem to float on the air, and I just love the way the petals capture the sunlight.
05:38They're just lovely.
05:39They're just lovely to see you.
05:41Poppies are spring-flowering annuals that thrive in sunny spots with well-drained soil.
05:47What varieties are you growing here?
05:49I've got lots of red Flanders, as you can see.
05:52I've got the white version as well.
05:54I've also got Oriental poppies.
05:57I call them pom-pom poppies because they look like giant pom-poms.
06:00I think I like your name better.
06:02And also the pink Orientals as well.
06:05Sometimes they're called peony poppies, so they're the fluffy sort of pink ones.
06:09And there's some beautiful little angels choir.
06:12They're really sweet.
06:13They're like the little pink ones.
06:15And I've actually got a perennial poppy that I don't pull out.
06:19It just stays in the ground, and they have these massive orange cups.
06:22They're incredible.
06:24You've got quite a collection there, and it's still growing?
06:27Yeah.
06:28Yeah.
06:28Well, I do love poppies.
06:31In spring, Jennifer deadheads old blooms regularly to prolong the display.
06:37Believe it or not, in about three weeks,
06:39all these red poppies go brown.
06:41All the plants go brown.
06:42The seed pods go brown.
06:43And I just spend my time going around collecting seed.
06:49Then, at the end of the season,
06:51the seed pods are stored in packets
06:52and named for future plantings next autumn.
06:55In March and early April,
06:58there's parts of the garden here
06:59that I can actually use as little poppy nurseries.
07:02So I start off, and I just sprinkle the seeds,
07:06cover them with a little bit of straw but not much
07:08because, as you can imagine,
07:10poppy seeds just fall straight onto the ground.
07:12And then when they're seedlings,
07:14I just basically paint with flowers all throughout winter.
07:17I just go, oh, OK, the oriental's at the back,
07:20the flanders at the front,
07:22angels' choir mixed with flanders.
07:24Yeah, whatever works.
07:25Oh, it must be such a fun process.
07:28It is. It is just like painting.
07:29Yeah, it's very creative.
07:31I love it.
07:31I love that aspect of it.
07:33And I just love imagining
07:35what they're going to look like in spring.
07:40It's really a heart connection.
07:42This garden, there's a sense of nostalgia about it.
07:46And I often have people wandering around saying,
07:50oh, my grandma had that plant,
07:52or, oh, my mum had that,
07:53or this is like my mum's garden used to be,
07:56or it's just lovely.
07:58People pointing out things
07:59that really are a connection to their heart.
08:06Adding to that old-world charm
08:07are the espalliard pear trees.
08:10Well, this is, I suppose,
08:11a little mini-walled garden that we've created.
08:14I just wanted to create a green wall,
08:16and they're actually fruiting pears,
08:17so we wanted some fruit as well.
08:19One of the typical things that happens
08:21as I'm building,
08:23Jen doesn't even wait for me to finish.
08:25She just whacks a plant in there straight away.
08:27You've got to soften that hardscaping.
08:31We could not do this garden without each other.
08:34Yeah, so I'm a bit of the muscle,
08:36and Jen's the beauty.
08:38So I kind of do lots of the hardscaping, generally,
08:41and lawn mowing and edging,
08:43and Jen is with the flowers.
08:45She's the artist.
08:46Yeah, she's the artist.
08:47She brings it all together.
08:49How did you find this place?
08:51So our fridge died,
08:52so we went into Lithgow
08:54and just happened to look up
08:55into a real estate window
08:57and saw this land.
08:58Came across,
08:59thought, oh, yeah, it's okay,
09:01and then we walked across
09:02to that lovely oak tree
09:04and the view,
09:05and we just fell in love with it, basically.
09:07So we ended up buying a fridge
09:09and a block of land.
09:10As you do.
09:12As you do.
09:13A fridge and five acres.
09:14And what was it like when you got here?
09:16It was pretty much just the gum trees here
09:18and the oak tree down the bottom.
09:20All the rest of the planting
09:21we've put in
09:22in the time that we've been here.
09:24Planting and the buildings.
09:25Peak built all the buildings,
09:27so everything's been done in seven years.
09:30Wow.
09:32Another beautiful part of the garden, Jen.
09:34Oh, thanks.
09:35We love the little hothouse.
09:36It must be difficult
09:37to garden in such extremes.
09:39Yeah, we can get down to minus seven here.
09:42We're in a cool climate.
09:43And the frosts here are phenomenal.
09:45The whole paddock turns white.
09:47Not necessarily for that reason,
09:50but we have the hothouse here
09:52because you can see
09:52a lot of white moth around here,
09:54can't you?
09:54Yes.
09:55And they lay eggs
09:57and growing brassicas
09:58is really, really difficult
09:59with them around,
10:00so that protects them
10:01from the grubs,
10:03from the white moth.
10:04It's also a great place
10:05just to hang out in winter
10:06and do potting,
10:07so it's nice and warm.
10:08Oh, I bet.
10:09And it looks fantastic too.
10:11Yeah.
10:11There's so much colour, Jen.
10:13Yeah, absolutely.
10:15It just explodes in October.
10:18As gorgeous as it looks,
10:20country gardening
10:20is not without its challenges.
10:22The kangaroos are fine.
10:23Love the kangaroos.
10:25The wallabies
10:26do tend to eat my roses
10:27in the paddock, unfortunately.
10:30And also,
10:32we have ducks and rabbits.
10:34So, the rabbits and ducks
10:36eat all the poppy seedlings.
10:39Jennifer and Pete
10:39tackle these obstacles
10:40with dedication,
10:42using rabbit-proof fencing
10:43to protect their precious plants.
10:46So, this fence
10:47is actually dug into the ground
10:49about 20 centimetres.
10:51Wow, in heavy clay.
10:52Yeah.
10:53Yeah, very hard work.
10:55Old post and rail
10:56with the chicken wire,
10:57and it really does work.
10:59So, what do you do
11:00to protect what's outside
11:01of the fence?
11:02Pete's actually made me
11:03some lovely little
11:04sort of wire rounds
11:06or squares or rectangles
11:08that I use.
11:08There's probably about 20 of them.
11:10And then,
11:11when we do big garden areas
11:13of poppies,
11:14Pete actually fences
11:15the whole lot
11:15until they grow up.
11:17So, what other methods
11:18have you used
11:19to protect plants
11:20outside of the main garden?
11:21The white cockies
11:22came and tore out
11:23about 15 poppy plants.
11:26Pete made me some
11:27pretty scary-looking
11:28scarecrows.
11:30Pretty sad-looking, too.
11:31But they worked.
11:32We fooled those
11:33white cockatoos.
11:34Oh, good on you.
11:35He made three.
11:36So, I actually saw
11:37a cockatoo come and land
11:39on the fence
11:39and then look at the scarecrow
11:41and then fly away.
11:43So, Pete builds everything.
11:44Oh, Pete is amazing.
11:47Yeah.
11:47He's so creative.
11:49There's an old tree stump
11:50right at the bottom
11:51of the garden
11:51and we didn't know
11:52what to do with it
11:53but he's turned it
11:54into Peter Rabbit's house.
11:56So, it's got
11:57a little fireplace,
11:58it's got its chimney,
12:00it's got its clothesline
12:01and Mum's made
12:02a little jacket
12:03to hang on the clothesline.
12:06It goes with the whimsical
12:07nature of the garden.
12:09We all need a Pete.
12:10Definitely.
12:11We all need a Pete.
12:13And a visit
12:13to Hartvale Gardens
12:14wouldn't be complete
12:16without taking in
12:17some of the best views
12:18on the property.
12:20Welcome to my studio, Tammy.
12:23Which just happened
12:24to be from Jennifer's art studio.
12:26Wow, Jen.
12:27This is where I hang out
12:28when I'm not in the garden.
12:30I mean, really,
12:30but the garden comes
12:31to you in here.
12:32It does.
12:33It's like you're in the garden.
12:35It's an extension of her garden
12:36and a window
12:37into her creative process.
12:39I basically just paint
12:40what I see.
12:41The birds,
12:41the mountains
12:42and, of course,
12:43the garden.
12:46Jennifer and Pete's
12:47rustic and artistic garden
12:49is an inspiring intersection
12:51of art and horticulture,
12:53framed by the wild
12:54panoramic landscape
12:55west of the Great Dividing Range.
12:57It's gorgeous.
13:05How can your livestock,
13:06like goats or chickens,
13:08contribute to your garden goodness?
13:11Well, we've just had
13:11a tribe of goats here,
13:13so the shed has become
13:14a really important
13:15home space for them.
13:16To make sure it's comfortable,
13:18we've put a deep layer
13:19of straw on the floor
13:20and as that captures
13:21all the weeds and poos
13:23that come,
13:23we end up scraping it out
13:25into our compost base
13:26where it breaks down
13:27and then feeds our garden
13:30to grow beautiful crops.
13:33Do I need to buy mulch
13:34for my garden?
13:36Mulching is beneficial
13:37because it helps
13:37retain soil moisture,
13:39regulate temperature,
13:40suppress weeds
13:41and help improve soil health
13:43as it decomposes.
13:45Buying mulch
13:46isn't necessary
13:47if you have alternative
13:48organic materials available.
13:50Now, these can include
13:51grass clippings,
13:52fallen leaves,
13:54straw or compost.
13:55So, if you have enough,
13:57it will save you money
13:58to supply your own.
14:00However, purchasing mulch
14:01can save time
14:03and give you a range of options
14:05such as wood chips,
14:06bark, straw
14:07and composted manure.
14:10Now, whichever way you go,
14:11mulching is a key practice
14:13to help gardens thrive.
14:15Why are some plants hairy?
14:18It's a surprising fact
14:19that about 80% of all plants
14:21use hairs for one reason
14:23or another.
14:24Think zucchini, cucumber,
14:26melons, lavender.
14:28This plant uses hairs
14:30to protect itself
14:31from moisture loss
14:32and sunburn.
14:33This uses hairs
14:35to protect itself
14:36from frost.
14:37Whereas this plant
14:38uses hairs
14:39to conserve water.
14:41It will actually soak up
14:43dew and rainfall
14:44from its hairs.
14:46Hairs are wonderful things.
14:48Parramatta Park
14:55surrounds historic
14:57old government house
14:58just behind me here.
15:00Parramatta
15:01is on
15:01Burramatigal country.
15:03Burra meaning
15:04place of the eel
15:05and mudra
15:07meaning
15:07calm waters.
15:09Let's catch up
15:10with Millie now
15:11who's making a plan
15:13for spring growing
15:14in her cool climate garden.
15:16For a gardener,
15:28the one thing
15:29that is consistent
15:30at this time of year
15:31is that the weather
15:32is going to be inconsistent.
15:34You get everything
15:35from sunny warm days
15:36to howling gales.
15:38Even frost
15:39is still a risk
15:39for us here.
15:40So you need to be
15:41in the habit
15:41of really looking
15:42at what the season
15:43is giving you
15:44and reading the garden
15:45every single day.
15:48While you might get
15:49a few sunny warm days
15:51in spring,
15:51it's actually
15:52the length
15:53of those days
15:54getting longer
15:55that stimulates action
15:56in lots of plants.
15:58Lots of different
15:59vegetable crops
16:00use day length
16:01as that signal
16:02to produce flower
16:04and set seed.
16:05And if you leave it
16:06even a week,
16:07you can have
16:07a really good crop
16:09go way too far
16:10and you can't pick
16:11them for the table.
16:12So this time of the year
16:13I'm always walking
16:14around the garden
16:14having a look,
16:15inspecting everything,
16:16working out
16:17what I need
16:17to harvest and eat,
16:19what I can leave
16:20a little bit longer
16:21and what I might
16:22want to save for seed.
16:24Take this radicchio.
16:25Now this is a new
16:26variety for my garden.
16:27It forms the most
16:28incredibly beautiful
16:30pink heart,
16:32a really lovely
16:32dense head
16:33and it's the last
16:34of the batch
16:34and I've been waiting,
16:36waiting, waiting
16:36to see if it'd form
16:38a nice dense heart
16:39but it hasn't done it
16:41and now that those
16:42days are lengthening
16:43I know that really
16:44my chance is up.
16:45It's now going to run
16:47straight to flower
16:48and try and set seed.
16:49So if I want to get
16:50a meal out of this,
16:51I've got to make salad.
17:03One big tip for
17:05productive gardening
17:05anytime is to plan
17:07for anything
17:08and I do that
17:09by planting
17:09lots of different
17:11things and always
17:12having a backup plan.
17:13This is a lettuce crop.
17:15It is mignonette
17:16or butter lettuce
17:17and it's the perfect
17:18time to grow
17:19this variety
17:20in that lovely
17:21mild weather.
17:22When I saw some weeds
17:23and some other
17:24lettuce germinate,
17:25I immediately sowed
17:26seed directly
17:27into the bed
17:27because why not
17:28cut out all that
17:29extra work
17:30and go straight
17:30to the ground?
17:32But I'm also going
17:33to put in some
17:33of these more
17:34advanced seedlings
17:35which means
17:36that no matter
17:36what the weather,
17:38I'm going to guarantee
17:38myself a feed.
17:53There are plenty
17:54of plants
17:55in the productive garden
17:56that are really useful
17:57even when they're
17:58no longer edible
17:59for us
17:59and brassicas
18:00are a great example.
18:02So once those
18:03little broccoli florets
18:04that we eat
18:05start to actually
18:06form flowers,
18:07they're stringy
18:08and they're tough,
18:08you wouldn't want
18:09to eat them
18:09but the flowers
18:10are packed with nectar
18:11so they make
18:12a great pollinator
18:13attracting plant.
18:15In the cooler months
18:15I really rely on them.
18:17They're one of my main
18:18flowers in the garden
18:19so even though
18:20this is no longer
18:20of any use to me,
18:22it's a beauty
18:23for the bugs.
18:23Then there are
18:28those plants
18:29that I'm planning
18:30to save for seed.
18:31Now I grow lots
18:32of brassicas
18:33in this garden.
18:34You can see
18:34so many of them
18:35are now running
18:36to seed and flower
18:37and they're renowned
18:38for cross-pollinating
18:39meaning that the seed
18:40you save from most
18:41varieties won't remain
18:42true to type
18:43and you won't know
18:44what that little seed
18:45is going to give you
18:46but this is one thing
18:48that I have found
18:48is a total exception
18:49to the rule
18:50and it's my favourite
18:51brassica.
18:52It's spigory yellow,
18:53it's a sprouting broccoli
18:54and you can see
18:55it's starting to produce
18:56white flowers
18:57down the front.
18:58Now it is such
18:59a great plant.
19:00We eat it for five
19:01months of the year
19:02and now it's getting
19:03into its last stage
19:04so I've been picking
19:05these little broccolis
19:06to eat
19:07but soon I'm going
19:08to stop picking them.
19:09I'm going to feed them,
19:11water them
19:11and treat them
19:12as the best plants
19:13in the garden
19:13because they're going
19:14to make those seed
19:15that are going to feed
19:16us next year.
19:23You know,
19:24this time of year
19:25can be a lot.
19:27There are a lot of jobs
19:28to do,
19:28a lot of weeds
19:29that start growing
19:30but I promise
19:31if you keep an eye
19:32on your garden
19:32and respond to
19:33what's happening
19:34you will win.
19:35Get lots of things
19:36in the ground
19:36and you can always
19:37have a springish
19:38in your step.
19:39It's not too often
20:02you see me
20:03right in the middle
20:04of the Melbourne CBD
20:06but there are gardens
20:08everywhere
20:09if you know
20:10where to look.
20:12This is the entrance
20:14to what I think
20:15is one of the best
20:16buildings in the city.
20:18Yes,
20:19it has a rooftop garden
20:21but that's just
20:22the beginning.
20:24This building
20:24is a new home
20:25for people
20:26who need it the most.
20:30Make Room
20:31is a six-storey
20:32council-owned building
20:33and up until recently
20:35it wasn't being used
20:36for much
20:37other than storage.
20:39It's been given
20:40a complete transformation
20:42and retrofitted
20:43to create
20:4450 studio apartments
20:46providing secure housing
20:48for people
20:49experiencing
20:50long-term homelessness.
20:53Each apartment
20:54is fully furnished
20:56and people can stay
20:57for at least a year
20:58or until they find
21:00somewhere they prefer.
21:02people have just
21:05started moving
21:05in here
21:06over the last
21:07couple of months
21:08so I'm heading
21:09upstairs to see
21:10the heart
21:10of any home
21:11the garden.
21:12It's a pretty
21:17decent size.
21:18The rooftop's
21:19655 square metres
21:22with a barbecue area
21:23and plenty of seating
21:25for socialising
21:26and workshops.
21:27There's around
21:2820 raised garden beds
21:30fitted with low-maintenance
21:32wicking systems.
21:33There's a good mix
21:34of perennial herbs,
21:35some natives,
21:37fruit trees
21:37and seasonal annuals
21:39like chilli,
21:40capsicum
21:41and eggplant.
21:44Building Make Room
21:45has been a massive
21:46team effort
21:47between Melbourne
21:48Council,
21:49the state government,
21:50philanthropists
21:51and non-profit organisation
21:53Unison Housing.
21:56Working here
21:57is amazing.
21:59I get to see
21:59the next step
22:00in a lot of the clients'
22:01lives that I've worked with
22:02going from
22:03street-based homelessness
22:04into supportive accommodation
22:06where they get
22:07wraparound holistic care.
22:09Hayley Morgan
22:10has worked in health
22:11and homelessness
22:12for years
22:13and knows how special
22:15this place is.
22:17People that have been
22:18rough sleeping
22:19and entrenched in it
22:20for such a long
22:21period of time
22:21often don't get
22:23the opportunity
22:24to have supported
22:25accommodation.
22:26They could be offered
22:27a house
22:27that's really far away
22:29where they don't know
22:29anyone
22:30and then it all
22:32falls apart
22:32and the cycle
22:33sort of starts again.
22:35So being able
22:35to support people
22:36for 12 months
22:38or for as long
22:38as they're here
22:39while they're here
22:40just helps build up
22:41a lot of their
22:41living skills.
22:42So once they're out
22:43in housing
22:44in the community
22:45they've got the skills.
22:47And what an amazing
22:48thing to have
22:50this space,
22:52a garden.
22:54Yeah.
22:55It's
22:55showing people around
22:57when they're about
22:58to move in.
22:58This is always
22:59one of the favourites
23:00and memories as well.
23:02So people come up
23:03here and they look
23:04at the garden
23:04and there's always
23:06a bit of a story.
23:07So whether it's
23:08remembering other
23:09periods of their life
23:10or family members
23:11that used to grow
23:12tomatoes and that
23:13sort of thing
23:14so it really just
23:14provides that home
23:16connection as well.
23:17So we've got our
23:18gardening group
23:19which is on once a week
23:20or if you don't have
23:20any tomatoes
23:21for your dinner
23:22you can run up here
23:23get some tomatoes.
23:24We've had people
23:25making like eggplant dip
23:26and all these
23:27different recipes
23:28which is pretty cool.
23:29You can see how
23:31many we've got.
23:32We've got heaps.
23:33There's a few in there.
23:34Yeah, definitely.
23:36Tiff moved in
23:37about four months ago.
23:39She's planting
23:40some seedlings
23:41so I'm going to
23:41give her a hand.
23:43So who was
23:44your gardening influence?
23:46My foster dad
23:47taught me gardening
23:48skills at home.
23:50Really?
23:50Yeah.
23:51I actually got to
23:52go out on the farm
23:53as well
23:54and have a little
23:55shot at that
23:56with my dog
23:58Rackets.
23:59Rackets.
24:00Yeah, he was really
24:01rowdy.
24:02What sort of dog
24:03was he?
24:03He was a Kelpie.
24:04Yeah.
24:05Kelpie Aussie.
24:06What have you learnt
24:07from the garden
24:08over the years?
24:09Like what's it
24:10sort of given you?
24:11And nature?
24:13How things
24:14can work together.
24:16How things
24:17can work together
24:17to help each other.
24:19Yeah.
24:19Yeah.
24:20Yeah.
24:21Yeah, really.
24:22And how simple
24:23things can be
24:24if you really
24:25just look after
24:26what you have.
24:28You know what I mean?
24:30Yeah, it's funny,
24:31isn't it?
24:31Like the older
24:32you get,
24:32the more people
24:33try and complicate
24:34life, don't they?
24:35I think the separation
24:36of people
24:37from people
24:39and disconnection
24:42from communication
24:43with what matters
24:44first,
24:44which is this.
24:47You know what I mean?
24:48Because we all
24:49like to eat
24:50good food, right?
24:51Yeah.
24:52And then good food
24:53makes you think good.
24:54So, yeah,
24:57it's all how
24:58you think about it.
24:59Really?
25:00Yeah.
25:02That's it.
25:06It's so easy
25:07for us to take
25:08for granted
25:09when you have
25:10the safety
25:11of a shelter.
25:12Yeah.
25:13That, you know,
25:15you suddenly
25:16get it again
25:17and just that
25:18basic need
25:20to find calm
25:22and balance.
25:23And it can be scary, too.
25:25If you're used
25:25to being on the streets,
25:26there's actually
25:27a community there.
25:28So you're never alone.
25:30So to then
25:30move in
25:32to an apartment, too,
25:34can be quite quiet
25:35and isolating,
25:36which is also why
25:36the outdoor space
25:37is so important.
25:39Some people,
25:39when they first move in,
25:40they might sleep
25:41for four days.
25:42Wow.
25:43So they might just sleep
25:44for a long time
25:45and then slowly
25:46over time
25:46you see them
25:47making it a home,
25:48putting in diffusers
25:49and rugs
25:50and pot plants
25:51and things like that
25:51into their rooms.
25:53Wow, that must be
25:54like that difference
25:56between a house
25:57and a home.
25:59It's a massive difference
26:00and it's a really nice
26:01transition to see.
26:02It's one of my favourite things.
26:03One thing
26:08I remember
26:09growing up
26:10with my grandparents
26:11and my parents
26:13was whenever you went
26:14to someone's place
26:15you always took something
26:17and I thought
26:19coming and visiting
26:21someone's new place here
26:24it'd be really nice
26:25to be able to
26:26give them a plant
26:28and this was a gift
26:29that has then
26:31created pups
26:32and then those pups
26:34have gone on
26:34as gifts to others
26:36so it just really
26:37is that gift
26:38that keeps on giving.
26:40So this is the
26:41Chinese money plant
26:42or pilia.
26:43It's a great indoor plant
26:45it's really tough
26:46and I've got
26:47a few little
26:48op shop special pots here
26:50and I'm going to make
26:52some gifts
26:53to be given.
26:56So I might get in here
26:57with the secateurs
26:58so there's one
27:00and two
27:02three
27:05four
27:08five
27:11look at that
27:13I'm using
27:15a combination
27:15of two parts
27:17quality potting mix
27:18with one part
27:19perlite
27:21and horticultural
27:22charcoal
27:22and I've got
27:24some plastic pots
27:25that I've cut down
27:26to size
27:27so this has got
27:29plenty of roots
27:30this little pup
27:32now I just need
27:33to backfill it
27:34tamp it down
27:36that looks pretty good
27:39I'll just put it
27:40in this pot
27:41look at that
27:44now
27:46don't be fooled
27:47by the
27:48slightly weathered
27:50appearance
27:50of this
27:51devil's ivy
27:53or potos
27:53I actually
27:54took this
27:55cutting
27:55from my
27:56place
27:56and I
27:57brought it
27:58down
27:58with me
27:58because I
27:59thought
27:59that way
28:00I can
28:00give this
28:01as a gift
28:01as well
28:02I'm dividing
28:04my cutting
28:05into several
28:06smaller pieces
28:07making sure
28:08each piece
28:09has a node
28:09or even
28:10a small
28:11root
28:11at the
28:12bottom
28:12remove a
28:14couple of
28:14the lower
28:14leaves
28:15as needed
28:16use a pen
28:17or a stick
28:18to make
28:19a few
28:19small holes
28:20then plant
28:21each cutting
28:22deep enough
28:22so that
28:23at least
28:23one node
28:24is buried
28:25I'm putting
28:27multiple
28:27cuttings
28:28into the
28:28one pot
28:29for a
28:29fuller
28:30look
28:30faster
28:31now
28:32all of
28:33these
28:33plants
28:33will need
28:34some time
28:35to recover
28:35from their
28:36transplant
28:36just
28:38treat them
28:38carefully
28:39give them

29:34they're
29:36looking
29:37good
29:37they'll
29:38grow
29:38fast
29:38yeah
29:39yeah
29:39what's
29:48the reality
29:48out there
29:49on the
29:49streets
29:50in
29:50other
29:51councils
29:51people
29:52are getting
29:53fined
29:53for rough
29:54sleeping
29:54on the
29:54streets
29:55rather than
29:56being provided
29:57support
29:57so the
29:58city of
29:59Melbourne
29:59doing this
30:00initiative
30:00we can
30:01directly help
30:02people that are
30:03rough sleeping
30:03in the city
30:04of Melbourne
30:04and house
30:05them until
30:06their permanent
30:06housing
30:07comes along
30:08wow
30:08I mean
30:09you know
30:10that idea
30:11that oh
30:11well
30:12if you
30:12don't see
30:13it it
30:13doesn't
30:14exist
30:14it's not
30:16going to
30:16fix the
30:17problem
30:17yeah
30:17and nor
30:18does
30:18moving
30:18people
30:19on
30:19and I
30:21think
30:21that tends
30:21to happen
30:22in a lot
30:22of councils
30:23where rough
30:23sleepers
30:23just get
30:24moved on
30:24from one
30:26area to
30:26another
30:26to another
30:27but it
30:28never
30:28addresses
30:28the
30:29situation
30:30people
30:31need
30:31housing
30:31housing
30:33is a
30:33solution
30:33this
30:37is the
30:38last
30:38of the
30:38apartments
30:39to be
30:40occupied
30:40but someone
30:41will be
30:42moving in
30:42shortly
30:42so I
30:43thought
30:44I'd leave
30:45one of our
30:46little pups
30:46as a
30:47housewarming
30:47almost
30:51one-fifth
30:52of Melbourne's
30:53office buildings
30:54are empty
30:55which means
30:56there's a lot
30:57of potential
30:58accommodation
30:58and plenty
31:00of rooftop
31:01gardens
31:02waiting for
31:03inspiration
31:03I'd better
31:04start making
31:05a few
31:06more of
31:06those
31:06still to
31:11come on
31:12Gardening

31:17Hannah lifts
31:19the curtain
31:19on some
31:20serious
31:21infrastructure
31:22and we
31:23meet two
31:24young men
31:25who see
31:25the world
31:26through a
31:27macro
31:27lens
31:28how beautiful
31:39is Lake
31:40Parramatta
31:41it's an
31:42absolute gem
31:43in the heart
31:43of Western
31:44Sydney
31:44as the weather
31:46starts warming
31:47up it's so
31:48nice to be
31:48able to spend
31:49some time with
31:50the family
31:51outside
31:51but the
31:53question is
31:53what about
31:54your pets
31:55well
31:56Josh is
31:56creating a
31:57new garden
31:58at his
31:58place
31:59with just
31:59this
32:00in mind
32:01say hello
32:08to honey
32:09and clover
32:09we've always
32:11been a cat
32:12family
32:12and we're
32:13not alone
32:13there are
32:15pet cats
32:16in around
32:16a third
32:17of Australian
32:18households
32:18that's over
32:20five million
32:21cats
32:22although none
32:25of them
32:25are as sweet
32:26as honey
32:27here
32:27here are
32:28some more
32:28numbers
32:29each year
32:30roaming cats
32:31are responsible
32:32for killing
32:32around 500
32:34million native
32:35animals
32:36now in response
32:37to this
32:38many local
32:39councils
32:39around the
32:40country
32:41have brought
32:41in curfews
32:42to keep
32:43cats indoors
32:44either overnight
32:45or in some
32:46cases
32:4624 hours a
32:47day
32:48now this is
32:49clearly really
32:50important
32:50our cats
32:51have always
32:52been
32:53indoor cats
32:54but if you've
32:55got cats
32:56that are a
32:56little bit
32:56feisty
32:57which clover

45:42we have
45:43from about
45:44240 to
45:45260
45:45species
45:46of land
45:46snail
45:4785%
45:49are
45:49native
45:50and
45:50a large
45:51proportion
45:51are only
45:52found
45:52in Tasmania
45:53they play
45:54an important
45:54role
45:55in the
45:55calcium
45:56cycle
45:56so their
45:57shells
45:58are composed
45:59of
45:59calcium
45:59carbonate
46:00they draw
46:01that up
46:01from
46:02the leaf
46:02litter
46:03and they
46:03make
46:04their
46:04shells
46:04so one
46:07of the
46:07main
46:07roles
46:07of weevils
46:08is
46:09recycling
46:09nutrients
46:10especially
46:11rainforest
46:12species
46:12can
46:13consume
46:14dead
46:15plant
46:15material
46:16and
46:16process
46:17that
46:17and
46:18then
46:18turn
46:18that
46:19out
46:19into
46:19biologically
46:20available
46:21nutrients
46:22there's
46:24so many
46:24in Tasmania
46:25that are
46:25really
46:26understudied
46:27and a lot
46:28of them
46:28in the
46:28collections
46:29are
46:29misidentified
46:30or not
46:31identified
46:31at all
46:31so there's
46:32a lot
46:33of work
46:33to do
46:33we have
46:35a permit
46:36through the
46:36Tasmania
46:37Museum
46:37and our
46:37gallery
46:38they've
46:38given us
46:39a permit
46:39to collect
46:40for them
46:40when we're
46:42planning
46:43field trips
46:43there's a
46:44wide range
46:45of habitats
46:46that we
46:46sample
46:47so
46:47areas
46:48that are
46:49more open
46:49have a
46:50high diversity
46:51of weevils
46:52for snails
46:54rainforests
46:56are really
46:56good
46:56wet creeks
46:57or gullies
46:59there's a
47:01few things
47:02we bring
47:02with us
47:03I bring
47:03my camera
47:04so I have
47:04a macro
47:05photography
47:05set up
47:06we bring
47:07collecting
47:08vials
47:09a beating
47:09sheet
47:10if I'm
47:11targeting
47:12snails
47:12then I
47:13look more
47:13on the
47:13ground
47:14under logs
47:15and rocks
47:16and I
47:18usually look
47:18in the
47:19vegetation
47:19so I
47:20beat
47:20vegetation
47:21onto a
47:22beating
47:22sheet
47:22and then
47:23look at
47:24the
47:24invertebrates
47:25the
47:26pootra
47:27is
47:27something
47:27I got
47:27recently
47:28and it's
47:29essentially
47:29two tubes
47:30that go
47:30into a
47:31vial
47:31and you
47:32suck on
47:32one of
47:33the
47:33tubes
47:33you
47:34suck
47:35an insect
47:35up
47:36in the
47:37other
47:37tube
47:37and it
47:37goes
47:37into
47:37the
47:38vial
47:38so it's
47:39really good
47:39for
47:39fast moving
47:40things
47:41that are
47:41difficult
47:42to get
47:42using a
47:43vial
47:43on its
47:43own
47:44and flying
47:45things
47:45as well
47:45we work
47:48well
47:49together
47:49as a
47:49team
47:50so for
47:51example
47:51he'll just
47:52be
47:52looking under
47:53logs
47:53photographing
47:54things
47:54I'll be
47:55beating
47:55stuff off
47:56trees
47:56and then
47:57if I find
47:57something
47:57interesting
47:58I'll bring
47:59it over
47:59to him
47:59and he'll
48:00photograph
48:01it
48:01there can
48:03be a whole
48:03different world
48:04just under
48:04a rock
48:05people don't
48:06really know
48:06about it
48:07especially
48:07with
48:08macro
48:09photography
48:09you can
48:10zoom
48:10into a
48:10snail shell
48:11and see
48:12the sculpture
48:12that you
48:13would not
48:13be able
48:13to pick
48:14with the
48:14naked eye
48:15they have
48:16very intricate
48:17sculpture
48:18and patterns
48:18it's just
48:20an incredible
48:20world
48:21when you
48:22zoom in
48:22most of my
48:24knowledge
48:25about land
48:25snails
48:26I've learned
48:27it myself
48:27from going
48:28out into
48:29the field
48:29and looking
48:30at these
48:31snails
48:31myself
48:32I've also
48:32had a
48:33lot of
48:34guidance
48:35by a
48:36fellow
48:37snail
48:37expert
48:37I mean
48:39being a
48:39scientist
48:40is just
48:40about
48:41observing
48:41and being
48:44curious
48:44it's the main
48:45one
48:45yeah
48:46so it's
48:47really
48:48just an
48:49innate
48:49curiosity
48:51I think
48:55we've both
48:56always been
48:57interested in
48:57small
48:58intricate
48:58things
48:59when I was
49:00a kid
49:01it was
49:01mainly
49:01things
49:02on the
49:03beach
49:03rocks
49:04bones
49:05insects
49:06just
49:07sort of
49:08general
49:08natural
49:09history
49:09there's a bit
49:11of our
49:11collection
49:11that is
49:12bought
49:12from
49:12antique
49:13stores
49:13or
49:14given to
49:15us
49:15by other
49:15people
49:16behind me
49:17there's
49:18some
49:18skulls
49:19as well
49:19because I
49:19used to
49:20collect
49:20skulls
49:20a lot
49:21you know
49:22bird
49:22skulls
49:23wombat
49:24all sorts
49:25I've got
49:26a lot
49:27of
49:27pinned
49:27insects
49:28last time
49:29I counted
49:29about
49:29one to
49:30one and a
49:31half thousand
49:31so that's
49:33the most
49:34important part
49:34of my room
49:35I started
49:37working at
49:38the Tasmanian
49:39Museum and Art
49:40Gallery
49:40when I was
49:4116 or 17
49:42I've just been
49:43a volunteer
49:43there
49:44so throughout
49:45that time
49:46Otto and I
49:47have collected
49:48approximately
49:486,000
49:49specimens
49:50give or take
49:51probably about
49:5385%
49:54of the
49:55species
49:55in Tasmania
49:56are
49:56undescribed
49:57so that's
49:59a very
49:59large
50:00proportion
50:00we need
50:02to describe
50:02them
50:03so the
50:04knowledge
50:04about the
50:05species
50:05isn't lost
50:06if they
50:06go extinct
50:07globally
50:08there's
50:09a lot
50:11of weevils
50:11that are
50:12threatened
50:12there's
50:13about a
50:13hundred
50:14that are
50:14extinct
50:15already
50:15the work
50:17that Brynn
50:17and I
50:18do
50:18it helps
50:18with
50:19conserving
50:19species
50:21so for
50:22example
50:22we can
50:23go out
50:24and
50:24get a
50:25new
50:25locality
50:26for that
50:27species
50:27and that's
50:28very valuable
50:29data
50:29there's this
50:33new genus
50:34of
50:34lansnow
50:35I found
50:36up at
50:36the
50:36Douglas
50:36Apsley
50:37National Park
50:38and for me
50:39it was just
50:39really exciting
50:40it's a
50:41really tiny
50:42coeroped
50:43it's about
50:44two and a
50:46half
50:46mils
50:47and it's
50:48completely
50:48blind
50:48yeah
50:50that's
50:50probably
50:50my
50:51favourite
50:51yeah
50:51I've got
50:53a lot
50:53of
50:54favourites
50:56so it's
50:56very hard
50:56to pick
50:57one
50:57in the
50:58top
50:59five
51:00definitely
51:00would be
51:01one called
51:02Griffithia
51:03animal
51:03which is
51:04one
51:05that I've
51:05been looking
51:05for
51:06the last
51:06five years
51:07ever since
51:08I've
51:08had interest
51:08in
51:09weevils
51:09and
51:10a few
51:11months ago
51:11on a
51:12field trip
51:12with
51:13Tasmanian
51:14Museum
51:14I found
51:1512 of
51:16them
51:16and
51:17there was
51:18about 15
51:19specimens
51:19worldwide
51:20I think
51:21before that
51:21and
51:22they look
51:23very weird
51:23they're very
51:24long
51:24they're
51:25flat
51:25yeah
51:26they're just
51:26really weird
51:27so
51:30Brynn and I
51:31were heavily
51:32involved with
51:33iNaturalist
51:33iNaturalist
51:35is the
51:35largest
51:35citizen
51:36science
51:37forum
51:37in the
51:38world
51:38so people
51:39can upload
51:39things
51:40observations
51:41of species
51:42mainly
51:43what we're
51:44doing
51:44is
51:45looking at
51:45observations
51:46other people
51:46have made
51:47of snails
51:48and weevils
51:49and other
51:49things that
51:50we're interested
51:50in and
51:51we try and
51:52identify them
51:53best we can
51:53and I
51:55really enjoy
51:55that
51:55just
51:56the challenge
51:57of trying
51:57to find out
51:58what it is
51:59there's
52:01new species
52:02found all the
52:03time on there
52:03people just
52:04upload them
52:05not really
52:06knowing what
52:06they are
52:07and an expert
52:08will identify
52:09it
52:09it's really
52:11good for
52:11younger users
52:13I've met quite
52:13a few
52:14younger
52:15naturalists
52:16that are
52:16on the
52:17platform
52:17and they
52:18use it
52:18as a
52:18social network
52:19and it's a
52:20very good
52:21platform
52:22to share
52:22knowledge
52:23I really
52:23enjoy it
52:24so I think
52:29people should
52:30care about
52:30the natural
52:31world
52:32because we're
52:32so reliant
52:33on it
52:33we're much
52:34more reliant
52:35than we
52:35think
52:36and it's
52:37all connected
52:38the weevils
52:40are connected
52:40to the
52:41larger
52:41predatory
52:42beetles
52:42that feed
52:43on them
52:43and then
52:43the birds
52:45that feed
52:45on them
52:45and then
52:46seed distribution
52:48from the
52:48birds
52:48and it
52:49has a real
52:50impact
52:51on us
52:52my hope
52:54is that
52:54the work
52:55that I
52:55do
52:55in
52:56describing
52:56species
52:57and
52:57describing
52:58their
52:59ecology
52:59and
53:00taxonomy
53:01will
53:02better
53:03inform
53:03conservation
53:04plans
53:05there are
53:06quite a few
53:06species
53:06in Tasmania
53:07which are
53:07very
53:08restricted
53:08some
53:09can be
53:10restricted
53:10to a
53:11single
53:12section
53:12of a
53:13creek
53:13or
53:13a few
53:14rocks
53:14greas
53:15if
53:16that place
53:17is disturbed
53:18there's a chance
53:18that it
53:19could become
53:19extinct
53:19and
53:20for me
53:21these
53:21tunnel
53:21snails
53:21are very
53:22special
53:22they've
53:23been here
53:24for
53:24some
53:25cases
53:25hundreds
53:26of
53:26thousands
53:27of years
53:27I think
53:28they need
53:29to be
53:29conserved
53:30I know
53:41you've been
53:41waiting for
53:42it
53:42it's time
53:43to spring
53:44into action
53:45your jobs
53:45for the
53:46weekend
53:46are ready
53:47and
53:48waiting
53:49in cool
53:55areas
53:56take a

53:59on show
54:00now
54:01to avoid
54:02droopy
54:02flower heads
54:03keep bulbs
54:04hydrated
54:05by watering
54:05well
54:06especially

54:11carrot crop
54:12mix carrot
54:13seeds
54:13with sand
54:14in a jar
54:15and sprinkled
54:16directly
54:16into loose
54:17fluffy soil
54:18the sand
54:19will reduce
54:20the need
54:21to thin
54:21seedlings
54:22and provide
54:23adequate drainage
