Everything about Gardening Australia is great but it is hazardous and disgusting to see presenters talk to the camera which then focuses on their gardening work and dirt encrusted hands and fingernails. It is particularly sad to see women with harsh grubby hands. Germs and other hazards in soil is well documented and I think Gardening Australia should focus on this area whilst endeavouring to inform the public about plant matters.

Gardening Australia is a excellent gardening show hosted by Tasmanian gardener Peter Cundall and with a group of well informed and always full of interesting practical information co-hosts for various segments. The show's excellent camera-work and well made segments make for good viewing. It is paramount in it's genre and would rank above most gardening shows i have seen. It truly captures the many parts of the great jigsaw puzzle of Australian gardens and also has informative segments on general plant information such as weeds in our bushland which grow 'over the fence'. Ten out of ten for an entertaining and informative guide to good gardening practices. Pete's public vegetable garden, if anything to go by, sums up the shows success quite well.
