Costa Georgiadis Instagram - "The series is full of moments that we'll remember forever."

Costa Georgiadis, Melissa Leong and Samuel Johnson had the unique opportunity to work on the frontlines of St Vincent's Hospital Sydney for a week, taking a look behind the curtains of just what goes on to keep one of the country's busiest hospitals running.

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - What does zoo keeping and Gardening have in common you may ask. Well on closer inspection it’s clear to see that we don’t have animal life without plant life. Plants not only provide food and nutrition but they’re also the valuable resources for shelter and habitat, a home for them to feel safe. This week on @gardeningaustralia we are heading to @australiazoo where I get to meet @robertirwinphotography , his mum @terriirwincrikey and some of the passionate zookeepers who share the importance of plants  to our animal life, healthy ecosystems and conservation for the future . #zoos  #zookeepers
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - I am so lucky to work with incredibly talented people who love what they do. All of our cinematographers have such keen eyes and the way they “see the light” across any given day that we are filming is always a joy to watch from the other side of the lense because they’re constantly taking in the conditions as they change. The photo you see here was taken by  Sam Collins @samshootsthings when we were filming at @botanicsydney the other day. We were  filming a piece inside one of the glasshouses with lots of different hanging plants creating a particular atmosphere. There were nepenthes and rhipsalis and a host of other special plants that  indoor plant loving folk would be frothing over. Can you pick what plant it is ? Sam had finished what we were doing in there, carted some equipment outside, came back in and said “hey stand there” and just snapped  this pic.  Its a sharer indeed.Lightning in the  jar as they say.
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - There’s a lot to be said about stepping out of your comfort zone and diving into the deep end. And that’s exactly what I did last year when I agreed to be part of a three part documentary series called 

The Hospital : In The Deep End 

 And wow what an experience. Seriously there is so much to unpack about this project which goes to wear this week on Thursday night and then for the next couple of Thursday nights after that.  It’s a privilege to be asked to do or get involved with so many different projects and most of the time it’s just impossible for me to fit them in around my usual weekly and monthly schedule. 

But when I was approached to consider being involved in this reality documentary I barely needed to think about it for more than a second or two because while it may seem on face value that a documentary about a hospital in the health care system is out of my lane, the reality strikes that every single day in every story that I’m fortunate enough to tell, the underlying thread is all about preventative health. The decision was made and all that needed to be managed was the time logistics and this was made very easy because Saint Vincent‘s Hospital is in my neighbourhood and didn’t require a massive amount of travel for me to do the filming that was required.

What followed was an incredible access all areas vehicle that allowed me and my fellow cohosts Melissa Leong @fooderati and Samuel Johnson @loveyoursister to drive behind the scenes. We were given a number of hospital departments to dive into observe interact and start to understand all of the healthcare professionals that work in the departments as well as of course the patients and the broader picture. It really set out to showcase the frontline healthcare heroes who work under such incredible pressure but equally it didn’t shy away from the challenging pressures facing the public health system and framing these points alongside the hard work and dedication of the staff and the initiatives and treatments that they are rolling out and developing at Saint Vincent‘s. 
 
I’ll share a trailer as a taster of the first episode that screens this Thursday on SBS Australia. Cant wait to see it myself

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - It’s #WordNakedGardeningDay, which means it’s time for all of us on this beautiful living planet to shed our outer layers of baggage, strip back to our natural state and get into the the garden! Every other year that we’ve done this, we’ve been on the road, taking advantage of the fruits of somebody else’s labour, but here we are, finally at home in our emergent community food forest (which Brenna thinks is due for a prune) wielding some of our own bountiful harvest from this season’s gardening efforts. We’re keen to see what’s going on in your garden on this auspicious day! 😉

#WorldNakedGardeningDay2024 #wngd24 #wngd #permaculture #naked #gardening #foodforest #nude

🌻 For the record, when we’re not frolicking naked in the garden, we’re also building a strawbale & cob house with @growdoit , drawing illustrations about regenerative living via @brenna_quinlan and running a permaculture funk band called @formidableveg which will be touring east next month!
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - Who’s been to a #participarty before? It’s a party where, instead of stars and spectators, EVERYONE creates the vibe together. @activatetreeplanting does just this - and to top it off, they plant trees while they party! Over 50,000 of them, to be precise! In a time where we need #regenerative #climateaction more than ever, this is THE COOLEST model I’ve seen that combines community, carbon-sequestration and FUN in a sustainable-sized festival that is sold-out in minutes every time. Who was is that said “I don’t wanna join your revolution if I can’t dance”? 💥
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - There are so many examples of good intent  when it comes to greening our cities. You walk past them all the time and want to share the vision and success. But then there are all those other examples that get close but fall down with one little detail or another that doesn’t get considered. In this case some nice container gardens to green streetscapes but because they’re under an awning they need that regular weekly care and attention because they don’t see any natural rain. Throw on top of that the heat of the road and classic windblown urban environments and they dry out very quickly. Gardens like this need to be programmed into the regular care and maintenance of the premises just like the cleaners. Without that consistency any  chance for success is limited. What about wicking beds you say. Well they are an option but again a wicking bed has to be attended to and have its wicking well filled up regularly as well. So the bottom line is that container gardens need regular weekly care. Then Watch em thrive.
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - What a pleasure it was to learn that i was going to be driving past Aidens house on my way back to Perth from Nannup  he submitted this awesome portrait of me into the @abcbrisbane Bradley Art Prize. Always such a great privilege to see art up close.  @aidanleesmith thanks for the chance to meet you and your work  Loved catching up 👍🏽🧡✅ #portrait  #thebradleys
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - You know that feeling when there is a task you want to so in the garden and you finally get a chance to do it and look back at a task complete. Well my vetiver grass verge garden hedge has been taking advantage of the rain and temperature here in sydney the last few weeks and been growing deluxe. So i gave it a good autumn cutback and shape . Vetiver is the perfect barrier cor my vegie patch as it keeps  passing dogs and traffic off the garden but diesnt compete with whats growing because it is deep  rooting so i can plant right up to it. And because it grows by clumping and not seed I can simply seperate when it multiplies and replant to thicken the hedge. Thats what i was doing at the end if the time lapse. It also acts as a great little retaining wall and keeps the soil from cascading onto the footpath. A perfect filter / screen plant around drains to capture and settle sediment and runoff. And everything i trim i can drop straight on the garden as a straw mulch  #vetivergrass

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - What an absolute hoot it was to see an idea to have a rooster crowing competition turn from a random creative spark  into a seriously fun and engaging highlight of this years @qldgardenexpo 40th Birthday celebration. This idea has got legs and I see it becoming a staple go to because it is fun for all generations  There were so many great children crows  in each daily heat and one young  rooster girl@l made it to the final. Alas Its not for me to share video here of our junior competitors but they crowed loud and proud. Thanks to everyone who joined in and also watched from the stands  What a joy. #roostercrowing
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - When you plant a eucalypt, you're not just planting a single tree. You're actually planting an ecosystem.
- Dr Dean Nicolle OAM

🪲🦋🐛🐦🦎🐨🍄
Eucalypts have enormous biodiversity value, especially as part of our urban forest. 

They provide food, shelter, and nesting places for many more Australian animals, plants, and fungi than non-native trees can. While common urban wildlife like Brushtail Possums,  Rainbow Lorikeets and European Honeybees are happy enough with the resources provided by many garden trees, our more specialist species, like Australia's unique nectar-feeders, are specifically adapted to rely on and co-exist with our native flora. 

In our cities, towns, and suburbs, native eucalypts on streets and in gardens are vital habitat stepping stones, linking bigger patches of native bushland and connecting wildlife populations.

And where indigenous eucalypts are planted, this effect is multiplied, the trees slotting perfectly into their natural ecosystem.

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - Persimmons are one of those fruits that seem to fly a little bit under the radar compared to most other fruit. But that hasnt been the case in our family because mum and dad introduced us to them when we were young so they have always had a distinct position on our seasonal family fruit calendar.  Have  they had a spot on  your family fruit run on team  Now has been their time to shine and i am very much a fan of the squishy astringent option though i have grown to line the firmer Fuju varieties over the last decade or so. Thank you  for a good season “oh  great Persimmon Provider” .  This content of this vid tasted delicious.
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - There something I find incredibly rewarding about pruning fruit trees and at this time of the year its perfect to do a late summer -ish prune in mid autumn. I was talking about this to Alice Zaslavsky on what is our regular sat morning yarn on @abcmelbourne.  ThIs lemon tree is down in Melbourne and after what has been a fairly wet summer there is a lot of new growth and even fruit but it was a good time to take off as you can see a lot of the branches that had grown over the roof height onto the roof and were brushing up against the house. I didn’t want to go too hard because there’s still a lot of fruit on the tree and it is not a structural prrune that would take off a lot of the fruit bearing branches for next year. Take this task as a bit of a trim on what is a tree that I won’t give a big prune to for a couple of years. I love lemons and I love pruning them to see the way they respond. There’s a whole basket full of lemons off the prunings  along with about another 60 or 70 on the tree so I’m going to juice these and freeze them into cubes. Thank you Lemon tree for being such a provider.  #lemontree #backyardfruittrees #growitlocal

Costa Georgiadis Instagram -
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - Bodysurfing is something I would do every day If i had the chance and today I had the chance to do it with @samueljjohnson78. We actually had more than just a couple of bodysurf‘s together on the days when he was in Sydney to film for the project that we were involved with last year.. now he lives in North East Victoria which is not exactly close to a beach but he shares the same passion for body surfing and it’s been a real treat to make sure we get the water whenever he has been in town and late this afternoon was no exception. What’s more it was a double whammy because there’s nothing I love more than a freezing cold swim probably just a freezing cold swim in the rain and that’s exactly what we got.

Thanks for being a dolphin Sammy and I look forward to seeing the behind-the-scenes stories that you were involved with along with our fellow cohost Melissa Leong when the first episode of “The Hospital :in The Deep End” airs  tonight on @sbs_australia .  Are you dolphin inclined and love body surfing ?

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - May the 20th is #WorldBeeDay! We recorded this song called ‘Easy on the Bees’ on our latest album Micro Biome to celebrate all of the things that bees do, not just for humans, but the whole planet. They’ve been getting a hard time over the last few decades with deforestation, excessive chemical use and plain old overwork, so for our own good and the good of life on Earth, let’s all go a bit easy on the bees, eh? And don’t forget to have a happy World Bee Day!

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - Theres something about a lichen and moss covered path, where nature begins to claim back the built environment with a blanket of green. This path at @hopewoodhouse in Bowral has certainly been reclaimed  and transformed into a fluorescent green spongy  passageway. It was a joy to look at and walk on given the wind and fine weather meant it wasn’t slippery. Build it and we will slowly reclaim it.  #lichen  #moss #lichenandmoss
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - I was doing some gardening with my niece and was searching for pot to plant the only snow pea seedling tray that I had picked up at the local nursery  i saw this old laundry basket on landfill row and thought hang in I could repurpose it into a Snow Pea Wicking tower. All items I found and repurposed  1. Old laundry basket  2. Some gravel from the side path 3. Some off cuts of shade cloth. 4.  One bag  potting mix  and a seedling punnet were the only items I purchased total about $14  Afternoon activity with my niece : priceless 🧡🧡🧡 And whats more the last thing before bed and first thing next morning she wanted to check if the snow peas had grown . 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 #repurposed  #growyourownveggies  #growitlocal  #homegrown  #snowpeas

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - There are always examples of plants that have grown into their happy place and are serving multiple purposes and this Hawthorn of Rhaphiolepsis  is one such plant . Right on the coastal frontline at Port Macquarie it is serving as a great wind deflector for the front door of the i its and balcony as well as being a privacy screen from the street to the balcony and the apartment. As it has grown it now has space for an under storey of planting choices too.

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - How to draw a @costasworld character🥕

When I drew the illustrations for Australia's favourite gardener's latest book, Costa's World, I got to design a 'Costa' character. This is my character design process for a lifelike person character:

1. Get a good photo of the person standing up 
2. Trace that photo with a 'skeleton' sketch to get the proportions 
3. Redraw those same proportions in a bunch of different poses
4. Draw in the details over the top and add colour 🎨

Share this with any artists in your life 💚

What do you think? Does it look like the Costa we know and love?

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - @b.o.ze.n.a  has created a stunning garden by getting to know the challenges and extremes of the Goulburn NSW climate. As a result of her appetite to learn she has tracked down and applied all sorts of advice and created a garden that is flower field and produce plenty. It is such a pleasure to be able to share her story on @gardeningaustralia. She is a wonderful example of step by step growing a garden-and your experience  from scratch. Thanks for the welcome and hospitality Bozena 🧡🌻🧡
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - So today I came across this Costa crow which has been part of the @veggie.village4573  community garden on the sunshine coast at Perigean Beach. He is certainly a big talk unit and Im told that he gets renovated , and upgraded quite regularly by his creator Simone Gillan. Its such a genuine treat to see scarecrows bring fun and creativity to gardens large and small. Fun in the garden  spreads love  via  the he(Art)ery.

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - Fish ladders are a way of helping to remove the barriers that our urban environments impose on the movement of wildlife , in this case fish seeking to spawn up streams and in wetlands or mangroves. Our urban and even rural development can create blockages for fish to move so this structure gives them a chance to move up and  over the obstruction cause by the road which is effectively a dam and blocks passage. Great to see these solutions being used and installed  more readily in catchments and on waterways around the country.  #fishladders  #fishladdersofinstagram  #koinmerburracountry  @reefcatchments @isaacregionalcouncil
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - The Bradley Art  award for 2024 continues to see such a vibrant and diverse mix way of creative art being submitted in my image. The last few weeks we have been such a pleasure to wake up and not know what new pictures  of me are floating around on my social media. Massive massive shout out to everyone who has contributed an artwork for your creativity, playfulness and the time invested in producing your piece and the story thread you have chosen to highlight.

The first picture you see here of a very ripped me was produced by a young student on the Gold Coast who was visiting his grandfather during the school holidays and this is what Jordan thinks is  behind my overalls. Thanks for pumping up my tyres Jordan. The second image was prepared by his grandad so they both did their art work together which is something that makes me really happy that they made time to spend time together, and that is what matters.. Today is the last day for entries to be submitted and I can’t wait to see what else comes in. Thanks everyone, I am enjoying every piece of art. #bradleyawards #art

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - Have you had to resort to a palmbrella  when the rain catches you unaware. Well thats where  our cinematographer Sam found cover when we were filming in Coper Park and the rain snuck up on us. We always have a mix of little@lwft field challenges when it comes to filming for @gardeningaustralia  and there is always a way around them.  The #palmbrella  did the job  Cooper Park is a@slice of bushland squashed between bindi junction, woollahra , and double bay that is the most immediate “get out of the city” when you are in the city opportunity to be immersed in nature . #cooperparksydney  #naturewalk
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - There is always something to see and take away from every garden and it’s one of the things I love the most without question about edible garden trails. This netting structure that you see was created in order to grow brassicas and help keep them free from the cabbage white butterfly laying it’s caterpillars with predictable results. Now the point to note about this particular structure is that it has been designed for the gardener and in this case the gardener is probably about 2m tall or 6ft4” on a wet hair day. Bending down and lifting grow tunnel netting is somewhat more difficult for someone this tall so this modular easily dismantled netting structure was what they came up with. Having such fine netting means that they sometimes will shake other veggies with ladybirds on them into the enclosure should they have a break out in any pests otherwise this modular rotational system is working really well for them. Of course you can always use a slightly less fine netting to allow the pollinators access and the structure itself could also be used with shade cloth or you could even use tunnel housing material and turn it into a mini glasshouse in the off-season. So many options. We can visit this garden and see this structure first hand this coming weekend at the @samfordediblegardentrail  18th/19thmay.
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - Heres a peek at a few of the submissions for the 2024 Bradley Art Award. I got to have a little bit of a look around today as part of the @abcbrisbane open house and these are a few that have been set up in the foyer. Submissions are open until next Friday the 19th. Seriously special to see the range, styles , materials and mix of art experience being shared and thats what it is all about  Diving into the joy that art brings the head, the heart and the hands.🧡
Costa Georgiadis Instagram - Gardening in the. climate  extremes of Goulburn NSW requires a level of patience and observation in order to slowly but surely reach your growing goals.  This is the garden of @b.o.ze.n.a and she is a real role model example of inspiration for anyone who looks  at a garden that is growing well and thinks Im not@in that league. Its too hard. Where would I  i begin. Well she started just like that with one plant in the ground, then a second, then she dug up some lawn to make the bed wider and then she was addicted. And there is no turning back. What a treat to visit your patch of paradise  Bozena. #getgrowing  #canyoudoityesyoucan

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - Streetside Plant Find 

Been out doing some gardening today  and I had spotted this plant on the street a few days ago and thought if it is there when i  come back it has been discarded. Sure enough there it was today when I came back so I am going to give it a good drink tonight because it’s very dry but it is a perfectly good Dracaena  that with a freshen up of soil and a bit of a liquid feed it will be happy as.  #kerbsidefind

Costa Georgiadis Instagram - Are you a @costasworld fan? I did an online class last week for a Finnish permaculture crew and they said 'oh we love that guy' 😆

For those outside of Australia, Costa is our biggest celebrity. Which is cool because he's a gardener and also a really nice guy. He's half man, half hedge, and is known for being our country's most recognisable garden gnome. Y'all might have Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian but we've got this guy and we're pretty stoked with that.

Not many people know that I did the illustrations for his amazing book 'Costa's World'. We're also working on another book project together, so stay tuned for that one.

What's your Costa story, I'd love to hear it 🥰

Plants not only provide food and nutrition but they’re also the valuable resources for shelter and habitat, a home for them to feel safe. This week on @gardeningaustralia we are heading to @australiazoo where I get to meet @robertirwinphotography , his mum @terriirwincrikey and some of the passionate zookeepers who share the importance of plants  to our animal life, healthy ecosystems and conservation for the future . #zoos  #zookeepers

Costa Georgiadis - 3.5K Likes - I am so lucky to work with incredibly talented people who love what they do. All of our cinematographers have such keen eyes and the way they “see the light” across any given day that we are filming is always a joy to watch from the other side of the lense because they’re constantly taking in the conditions as they change. The photo you see here was taken by  Sam Collins @samshootsthings when we were filming at @botanicsydney the other day. We were  filming a piece inside one of the glasshouses with lots of different hanging plants creating a particular atmosphere. There were nepenthes and rhipsalis and a host of other special plants that  indoor plant loving folk would be frothing over. Can you pick what plant it is ? Sam had finished what we were doing in there, carted some equipment outside, came back in and said “hey stand there” and just snapped  this pic.  Its a sharer indeed.Lightning in the  jar as they say.

Costa Georgiadis - 3K Likes - There’s a lot to be said about stepping out of your comfort zone and diving into the deep end. And that’s exactly what I did last year when I agreed to be part of a three part documentary series called 

The Hospital : In The Deep End 

 And wow what an experience. Seriously there is so much to unpack about this project which goes to wear this week on Thursday night and then for the next couple of Thursday nights after that.  It’s a privilege to be asked to do or get involved with so many different projects and most of the time it’s just impossible for me to fit them in around my usual weekly and monthly schedule. 

But when I was approached to consider being involved in this reality documentary I barely needed to think about it for more than a second or two because while it may seem on face value that a documentary about a hospital in the health care system is out of my lane, the reality strikes that every single day in every story that I’m fortunate enough to tell, the underlying thread is all about preventative health. The decision was made and all that needed to be managed was the time logistics and this was made very easy because Saint Vincent‘s Hospital is in my neighbourhood and didn’t require a massive amount of travel for me to do the filming that was required.

What followed was an incredible access all areas vehicle that allowed me and my fellow cohosts Melissa Leong @fooderati and Samuel Johnson @loveyoursister to drive behind the scenes. We were given a number of hospital departments to dive into observe interact and start to understand all of the healthcare professionals that work in the departments as well as of course the patients and the broader picture. It really set out to showcase the frontline healthcare heroes who work under such incredible pressure but equally it didn’t shy away from the challenging pressures facing the public health system and framing these points alongside the hard work and dedication of the staff and the initiatives and treatments that they are rolling out and developing at Saint Vincent‘s. 
 
I’ll share a trailer as a taster of the first episode that screens this Thursday on SBS Australia. Cant wait to see it myself

Every other year that we’ve done this, we’ve been on the road, taking advantage of the fruits of somebody else’s labour, but here we are, finally at home in our emergent community food forest (which Brenna thinks is due for a prune) wielding some of our own bountiful harvest from this season’s gardening efforts. We’re keen to see what’s going on in your garden on this auspicious day! 😉

🌻 For the record, when we’re not frolicking naked in the garden, we’re also building a strawbale & cob house with @growdoit , drawing illustrations about regenerative living via @brenna_quinlan and running a permaculture funk band called @formidableveg which will be touring east next month!

Caption : It’s #WordNakedGardeningDay, which means it’s time for all of us on this beautiful living planet to shed our outer layers of baggage, strip back to our natural state and get into the the garden! Every other year that we’ve done this, we’ve been on the road, taking advantage of the fruits of somebody else’s labour, but here we are, finally at home in our emergent community food forest (which Brenna thinks is due for a prune) wielding some of our own bountiful harvest from this season’s gardening efforts. We’re keen to see what’s going on in your garden on this auspicious day! 😉 #WorldNakedGardeningDay2024 #wngd24 #wngd #permaculture #naked #gardening #foodforest #nude 🌻 For the record, when we’re not frolicking naked in the garden, we’re also building a strawbale & cob house with @growdoit , drawing illustrations about regenerative living via @brenna_quinlan and running a permaculture funk band called @formidableveg which will be touring east next month!

Costa Georgiadis - 2.3K Likes - Who’s been to a #participarty before? It’s a party where, instead of stars and spectators, EVERYONE creates the vibe together. @activatetreeplanting does just this - and to top it off, they plant trees while they party! Over 50,000 of them, to be precise! In a time where we need #regenerative #climateaction more than ever, this is THE COOLEST model I’ve seen that combines community, carbon-sequestration and FUN in a sustainable-sized festival that is sold-out in minutes every time. Who was is that said “I don’t wanna join your revolution if I can’t dance”? 💥

Costa Georgiadis - 2K Likes - There are so many examples of good intent  when it comes to greening our cities. You walk past them all the time and want to share the vision and success. But then there are all those other examples that get close but fall down with one little detail or another that doesn’t get considered. In this case some nice container gardens to green streetscapes but because they’re under an awning they need that regular weekly care and attention because they don’t see any natural rain. Throw on top of that the heat of the road and classic windblown urban environments and they dry out very quickly. Gardens like this need to be programmed into the regular care and maintenance of the premises just like the cleaners. Without that consistency any  chance for success is limited. What about wicking beds you say. Well they are an option but again a wicking bed has to be attended to and have its wicking well filled up regularly as well. So the bottom line is that container gardens need regular weekly care. Then Watch em thrive.

Costa Georgiadis - 1.4K Likes - You know that feeling when there is a task you want to so in the garden and you finally get a chance to do it and look back at a task complete. Well my vetiver grass verge garden hedge has been taking advantage of the rain and temperature here in sydney the last few weeks and been growing deluxe. So i gave it a good autumn cutback and shape . Vetiver is the perfect barrier cor my vegie patch as it keeps  passing dogs and traffic off the garden but diesnt compete with whats growing because it is deep  rooting so i can plant right up to it. And because it grows by clumping and not seed I can simply seperate when it multiplies and replant to thicken the hedge. Thats what i was doing at the end if the time lapse. It also acts as a great little retaining wall and keeps the soil from cascading onto the footpath. A perfect filter / screen plant around drains to capture and settle sediment and runoff. And everything i trim i can drop straight on the garden as a straw mulch  #vetivergrass

Costa Georgiadis - 1.4K Likes - What an absolute hoot it was to see an idea to have a rooster crowing competition turn from a random creative spark  into a seriously fun and engaging highlight of this years @qldgardenexpo 40th Birthday celebration. This idea has got legs and I see it becoming a staple go to because it is fun for all generations  There were so many great children crows  in each daily heat and one young  rooster girl@l made it to the final. Alas Its not for me to share video here of our junior competitors but they crowed loud and proud. Thanks to everyone who joined in and also watched from the stands  What a joy. #roostercrowing

Costa Georgiadis - 1.3K Likes - When you plant a eucalypt, you're not just planting a single tree. You're actually planting an ecosystem.
- Dr Dean Nicolle OAM

🪲🦋🐛🐦🦎🐨🍄
Eucalypts have enormous biodiversity value, especially as part of our urban forest. 

They provide food, shelter, and nesting places for many more Australian animals, plants, and fungi than non-native trees can. While common urban wildlife like Brushtail Possums,  Rainbow Lorikeets and European Honeybees are happy enough with the resources provided by many garden trees, our more specialist species, like Australia's unique nectar-feeders, are specifically adapted to rely on and co-exist with our native flora. 

In our cities, towns, and suburbs, native eucalypts on streets and in gardens are vital habitat stepping stones, linking bigger patches of native bushland and connecting wildlife populations.

And where indigenous eucalypts are planted, this effect is multiplied, the trees slotting perfectly into their natural ecosystem.

Plant native this #NationalEucalyptDay, vote for your #EucalyptoftheYear and let us know why you love your neighbourhood gums. Tag #LoveAGum_urban for your chance to win some fantastic eucalypt-themed prizes!

Costa Georgiadis - 1.2K Likes - Persimmons are one of those fruits that seem to fly a little bit under the radar compared to most other fruit. But that hasnt been the case in our family because mum and dad introduced us to them when we were young so they have always had a distinct position on our seasonal family fruit calendar.  Have  they had a spot on  your family fruit run on team  Now has been their time to shine and i am very much a fan of the squishy astringent option though i have grown to line the firmer Fuju varieties over the last decade or so. Thank you  for a good season “oh  great Persimmon Provider” .  This content of this vid tasted delicious.

Costa Georgiadis - 1.1K Likes - There something I find incredibly rewarding about pruning fruit trees and at this time of the year its perfect to do a late summer -ish prune in mid autumn. I was talking about this to Alice Zaslavsky on what is our regular sat morning yarn on @abcmelbourne.  ThIs lemon tree is down in Melbourne and after what has been a fairly wet summer there is a lot of new growth and even fruit but it was a good time to take off as you can see a lot of the branches that had grown over the roof height onto the roof and were brushing up against the house. I didn’t want to go too hard because there’s still a lot of fruit on the tree and it is not a structural prrune that would take off a lot of the fruit bearing branches for next year. Take this task as a bit of a trim on what is a tree that I won’t give a big prune to for a couple of years. I love lemons and I love pruning them to see the way they respond. There’s a whole basket full of lemons off the prunings  along with about another 60 or 70 on the tree so I’m going to juice these and freeze them into cubes. Thank you Lemon tree for being such a provider.  #lemontree #backyardfruittrees #growitlocal

ThIs lemon tree is down in Melbourne and after what has been a fairly wet summer there is a lot of new growth and even fruit but it was a good time to take off as you can see a lot of the branches that had grown over the roof height onto the roof and were brushing up against the house. I didn’t want to go too hard because there’s still a lot of fruit on the tree and it is not a structural prrune that would take off a lot of the fruit bearing branches for next year. Take this task as a bit of a trim on what is a tree that I won’t give a big prune to for a couple of years. I love lemons and I love pruning them to see the way they respond. There’s a whole basket full of lemons off the prunings  along with about another 60 or 70 on the tree so I’m going to juice these and freeze them into cubes. Thank you Lemon tree for being such a provider.  #lemontree #backyardfruittrees #growitlocal

Costa Georgiadis - 858 Likes - Bodysurfing is something I would do every day If i had the chance and today I had the chance to do it with @samueljjohnson78. We actually had more than just a couple of bodysurf‘s together on the days when he was in Sydney to film for the project that we were involved with last year.. now he lives in North East Victoria which is not exactly close to a beach but he shares the same passion for body surfing and it’s been a real treat to make sure we get the water whenever he has been in town and late this afternoon was no exception. What’s more it was a double whammy because there’s nothing I love more than a freezing cold swim probably just a freezing cold swim in the rain and that’s exactly what we got.

Thanks for being a dolphin Sammy and I look forward to seeing the behind-the-scenes stories that you were involved with along with our fellow cohost Melissa Leong when the first episode of “The Hospital :in The Deep End” airs  tonight on @sbs_australia .  Are you dolphin inclined and love body surfing ?

We recorded this song called ‘Easy on the Bees’ on our latest album Micro Biome to celebrate all of the things that bees do, not just for humans, but the whole planet. They’ve been getting a hard time over the last few decades with deforestation, excessive chemical use and plain old overwork, so for our own good and the good of life on Earth, let’s all go a bit easy on the bees, eh? And don’t forget to have a happy World Bee Day!

This path at @hopewoodhouse in Bowral has certainly been reclaimed  and transformed into a fluorescent green spongy  passageway. It was a joy to look at and walk on given the wind and fine weather meant it wasn’t slippery. Build it and we will slowly reclaim it.  #lichen  #moss #lichenandmoss

Such a great example of community collaboration to create a wetland habitat that grows from strength to strength. Put it i to your diary for a mist visit when driving up or down the Hume Hwy from Syd or Melb  or if you are in the region at all.

Right on the coastal frontline at Port Macquarie it is serving as a great wind deflector for the front door of the i its and balcony as well as being a privacy screen from the street to the balcony and the apartment. As it has grown it now has space for an under storey of planting choices too.

Costa Georgiadis - 548 Likes - How to draw a @costasworld character🥕

When I drew the illustrations for Australia's favourite gardener's latest book, Costa's World, I got to design a 'Costa' character. This is my character design process for a lifelike person character:

1. Get a good photo of the person standing up 
2. Trace that photo with a 'skeleton' sketch to get the proportions 
3. Redraw those same proportions in a bunch of different poses
4. Draw in the details over the top and add colour 🎨

Share this with any artists in your life 💚

What do you think? Does it look like the Costa we know and love?

Costa Georgiadis - 461 Likes - Fish ladders are a way of helping to remove the barriers that our urban environments impose on the movement of wildlife , in this case fish seeking to spawn up streams and in wetlands or mangroves. Our urban and even rural development can create blockages for fish to move so this structure gives them a chance to move up and  over the obstruction cause by the road which is effectively a dam and blocks passage. Great to see these solutions being used and installed  more readily in catchments and on waterways around the country.  #fishladders  #fishladdersofinstagram  #koinmerburracountry  @reefcatchments @isaacregionalcouncil

The last few weeks we have been such a pleasure to wake up and not know what new pictures  of me are floating around on my social media. Massive massive shout out to everyone who has contributed an artwork for your creativity, playfulness and the time invested in producing your piece and the story thread you have chosen to highlight.

The first picture you see here of a very ripped me was produced by a young student on the Gold Coast who was visiting his grandfather during the school holidays and this is what Jordan thinks is  behind my overalls. Thanks for pumping up my tyres Jordan. The second image was prepared by his grandad so they both did their art work together which is something that makes me really happy that they made time to spend time together, and that is what matters.. Today is the last day for entries to be submitted and I can’t wait to see what else comes in. Thanks everyone, I am enjoying every piece of art. #bradleyawards #art

Costa Georgiadis - 457 Likes - The Bradley Art  award for 2024 continues to see such a vibrant and diverse mix way of creative art being submitted in my image. The last few weeks we have been such a pleasure to wake up and not know what new pictures  of me are floating around on my social media. Massive massive shout out to everyone who has contributed an artwork for your creativity, playfulness and the time invested in producing your piece and the story thread you have chosen to highlight.

The first picture you see here of a very ripped me was produced by a young student on the Gold Coast who was visiting his grandfather during the school holidays and this is what Jordan thinks is  behind my overalls.

Well thats where  our cinematographer Sam found cover when we were filming in Coper Park and the rain snuck up on us. We always have a mix of little@lwft field challenges when it comes to filming for @gardeningaustralia  and there is always a way around them.  The #palmbrella  did the job  Cooper Park is a@slice of bushland squashed between bindi junction, woollahra , and double bay that is the most immediate “get out of the city” when you are in the city opportunity to be immersed in nature . #cooperparksydney  #naturewalk

Costa Georgiadis - 446 Likes - There is always something to see and take away from every garden and it’s one of the things I love the most without question about edible garden trails. This netting structure that you see was created in order to grow brassicas and help keep them free from the cabbage white butterfly laying it’s caterpillars with predictable results. Now the point to note about this particular structure is that it has been designed for the gardener and in this case the gardener is probably about 2m tall or 6ft4” on a wet hair day. Bending down and lifting grow tunnel netting is somewhat more difficult for someone this tall so this modular easily dismantled netting structure was what they came up with. Having such fine netting means that they sometimes will shake other veggies with ladybirds on them into the enclosure should they have a break out in any pests otherwise this modular rotational system is working really well for them. Of course you can always use a slightly less fine netting to allow the pollinators access and the structure itself could also be used with shade cloth or you could even use tunnel housing material and turn it into a mini glasshouse in the off-season. So many options. We can visit this garden and see this structure first hand this coming weekend at the @samfordediblegardentrail  18th/19thmay.

This is the garden of @b.o.ze.n.a and she is a real role model example of inspiration for anyone who looks  at a garden that is growing well and thinks Im not@in that league. Its too hard. Where would I  i begin. Well she started just like that with one plant in the ground, then a second, then she dug up some lawn to make the bed wider and then she was addicted.

Been out doing some gardening today  and I had spotted this plant on the street a few days ago and thought if it is there when i  come back it has been discarded. Sure enough there it was today when I came back so I am going to give it a good drink tonight because it’s very dry but it is a perfectly good Dracaena  that with a freshen up of soil and a bit of a liquid feed it will be happy as.  #kerbsidefind

Costa Georgiadis - 359 Likes - Are you a @costasworld fan? I did an online class last week for a Finnish permaculture crew and they said 'oh we love that guy' 😆

For those outside of Australia, Costa is our biggest celebrity. Which is cool because he's a gardener and also a really nice guy. He's half man, half hedge, and is known for being our country's most recognisable garden gnome. Y'all might have Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian but we've got this guy and we're pretty stoked with that.

Not many people know that I did the illustrations for his amazing book 'Costa's World'. We're also working on another book project together, so stay tuned for that one.

What's your Costa story, I'd love to hear it 🥰

Costa Georgiadis - 329 Likes - Sandcastles and their allure  are such a childhood memory for me that hasn’t faded or been  smothered and  carted out to sea by the currents of adulthood. I love making them, their texture and smell take me back to being on the beach for endless hours of construction , excavation and  creative fun. Today i have been building sandcastle with my nephew and the sounds,  smell and feel were just as they always have been. Whats ya position on sandcastles ?
