Southern Star Commissioned for New Gardening Series

SYDNEY: XYZnetworks’ The LifeStyle Channel has commissioned Southern Star Entertainment to produce the 12×30-minute gardening series Garden Angels, presented by horticulturalists Melissa King, Jody Rigby and Linda Ross.

Garden Angels will premiere on September 3 at 7:30 p.m. on The LifeStyle Channel, available on FOXTEL and AUSTAR. The show takes viewers through everything that needs to be done in the garden, everything from a step-by-step plan for creating a vegetable patch, to growing citrus, design tips and more. The hosts will also have advice on how to turn your outdoor living space into an all-encompassing environment for growing your own food, relaxing and sharing with family and friends.

“The presenters of this series are the next generation of gardening experts in Australia. We are delighted to have secured them for Garden Angels as it will be the most current gardening program produced in a very long time,” said Nicole Sheffield, The LifeStyle Channel’s general manager. “Our research has shown that gardening and outdoor living is one of the most significant focuses for Australians today. This innovative series will be at the forefront of providing them the most up-to-date information and inspiration.”

"A true gardening show that is shot and produced the week before it goes on air, making it current and specific to every front yard, backyard and balcony in Australia," commented Stuart Clark, Southern Star Entertainment’s head of development. "Quite simply, what to do in your garden every weekend. Our Angels are young, vibrant and in touch with today’s gardens… they make gardening practical, fun and cool!"
