Costa Georgiadis at Ballarat Begonia Festival


Access info

Costa Georgiadis is a landscape architect, environmental educator, author and television presenter who has an all-consuming passion for plants and people.

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 beloved host of one of the ABC’s most iconic and Logie award winning programs, Gardening Australia.

Beyond the screen, Costa is deeply involved with the importance of biodiversity and habitat, regenerative agriculture, permaculture and holistic land practices that deal with the issues arising from a rapidly urbanising world. The story of soil is a driving narrative for him.

Most weekends you will find Costa deep in conversation and immersed in workshops at community events across the nation. You may even see him having a surf, on the side of the road taking pictures, at a farmers market, or yarning on country with communities making new friends everywhere, discussing what’s growing in their backyards, how best to solve a garden or issue in their landscape or making a video callout for a distant relative. He lives and breathes gardening, relishing the natural world and connection to it.

Catch Costa on the Begonia Stage at 11.30am and 4pm on Saturday 8th; and at 11am and 3.30pm on Sunday 9th March.
