Costa Georgiadis is a landscape architect, environmental educator and television presenter who has an all-consuming passion for plants and people. He knows how to bring out the best in each and takes great pleasure in bringing them together. As co-creator and host of Costa's Garden Odyssey for SBS, he caught the attention of a nation. Since 2013, Costa has continued his journey as the much-loved host of one of the ABC's most iconic and Logie award-winning programs, Gardening Australia. His presenting work with Gardening Australia has been acknowledged with a Silver Logie. Costa is also involved with regenerative agriculture and holistic practices that deal with the issues arising from a rapidly urbanising world. Through his workshops, lectures, keynotes, expos and other events, Costa is actively involved in delivering his message to the broader community. His work with pre-schools, primary and high schools, TAFE colleges and universities, industry groups and community organisations reflects his ability to convey his knowledge of a permanent self-sustaining culture to any audience. 2021 sees Costa continue with Gardening Australia and proudly support Junior Landcare in a national ambassadorial role. Legend has it that upon being born, Brenna Quinlan promptly picked up a pencil and began to draw. She's still going, because drawing is important, and because it makes people happy. When she's not drawing, she's to be found in the garden, admiring the beauty of a home grown eggplant or the taste of a sun-warmed strawberry. She also likes doing hard things - one time she spent a whole year riding a bicycle across the Americas. She lives in a straw bale house that she built herself, in a permaculture community at the ends of the earth in Denmark, Western Australia.
