JOHANNA + DR CHRIS – A VIEW OF NORTH SYDNEY
When it comes to architectural variety, few places rival North Sydney. Here, grand heritage homes sit comfortably alongside elegant Art Deco apartments and striking modern high-rises, each adding its own character to the streetscape. Paired with leafy green spaces and sweeping harbour views, it’s easy to see why this harbourside enclave remains one of Sydney’s most desirable places to live. But does desirability mean it’s out of reach? Not necessarily. North Sydney is currently undergoing a rapid expansion and renewal, bringing fresh opportunities and attracting a broader mix of residents than ever before. So, could North Sydney be the place you call home? Johanna and Dr Chris are heading to this vibrant suburb to discover whether it truly offers something for everyone.
GRAHAM – NEW ZEALAND GARDEN CRUISE – WEEK TWO
Last week, Graham set off on an unforgettable journey across New Zealand, and this week his adventure continues, as he uncovers even more of the country’s spectacular gardens and remarkable landscapes. Graham’s exploring the beautiful Wellington Botanic Garden, before he heads to the South Island to check out the bustling port city of Timaru, and the charming village of Geraldine, all framed by the dramatic peaks of the Southern Alps. From world-renowned landscapes to hidden horticultural gems, New Zealand is home to some of the planet’s most breathtaking gardens and Graham is here to share his personal highlights.
CHARLIE – LET’S GET FRUITY
Citrus trees are a backyard favourite, with lemon, lime, orange and mandarin varieties thriving in gardens right across the country. While they’re known for being hardy and low-maintenance, they still need a little care to truly perform at their best. With citrus season just around the corner, Charlie is sharing his top tips to ensure your trees are not just surviving, but flourishing, so you can enjoy a bumper crop of vibrant, homegrown fruit throughout the cooler months.
JULIET – TRANSFORM YOUR LIVING SPACE
White paint may seem like the simplest choice for a room: clean, neutral, and timeless. But step into any paint store, and you’ll quickly discover that “white” is anything but basic. From subtle tints to hidden undertones, the right white can completely transform the mood and harmony of a space. This week, Juliet’s sharing her expert tips for choosing the perfect white for any space as she breathes new life into a much-loved family room. Along the way, she’s sharing some simple projects and ideas to add texture, layers, and personality. The result proves that, when done right, white is more than alright.
Saturday – Episode 9
DR HARRY – CHARLIE & JULIET’S MARVELOUS MENAGERIE
Life in the Albone/Love household has always been busy. Alongside Charlie, Juliet and their kids, Hart and Leo, there’s two pet pooches, Mr Darcy and Lou Lou, a bearded dragon called Brian…and two tanks bursting with pet fish. But this year, they’ve added a new family member to the mix: Lord Harold Buttercream is a gorgeous British Longhair cat, and he is as cute as his name. Dr Harry’s meeting this mini menagerie to find out how all the pets are going. Is it pure chaos? Or is Lord Buttercream settling in?
COLIN – CHICKEN & VEGGIE PASTIES
The best thing about a roast chook is the leftovers, which can be transformed into something even more delicious the next day. Whether you’ve roasted your own or picked one up from the shops, Colin’s chicken and veggie pasties are a brilliant way to give those leftovers a second life. Tossed with a fragrant herb and vegetable stuffing, then wrapped in golden, flaky puff pastry, these pasties are even better than the original meal.
ADAM – GOOD FRIDAY APPEAL HOUSE
We share many amazing homes on Better Homes and Gardens…but what could be more amazing than a home that is changing kids’ lives? Each year, tradies from across Victoria come together to volunteer their time and skills to the Good Friday Appeal, building a new home from the ground up – and all without charging a cent. The finished home is auctioned off, with the money raised going towards the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. This year’s house is a two-storey home with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and loads of street appeal. Adam’s here to check it out and to meet some of the tradie volunteers.
CHARLIE – BLOOMING BLOOMERS
A clothesline is a backyard essential, but practical doesn’t have to mean plain. Charlie’s showing you how to transform this everyday feature into a garden highlight by planting a beautiful flower bed beneath it, and he’s sharing his top plant picks for this area, too. Not only will it soften the space and add a burst of colour, but the fragrant blooms and lush foliage will leave your freshly dried washing smelling as lovely.
GRAHAM – GROWING GRASS TREES
With their dramatic flower spikes and striking, grass-like foliage, grass trees are among Australia’s most iconic native plants. They’ve flourished across the country’s diverse landscapes for thousands of years — but bringing that same success into a suburban backyard can be a challenge. Graham’s sharing a clever — and surprisingly unusual — trick to take the guesswork out of growing grass trees at home, making it easier than ever to help these spectacular natives thrive.
MELISSA – TRENDS WITH INDOOR GARDENING
One of the biggest trends in indoor gardening is propagating and displaying house plants in nothing but water…and it’s taking over windowsills everywhere. This method of propagating isn’t only simple, it’s addictive. And the finished result looks great, too. Best of all, there’s no need to worry about “watering” these plants – so it’s the perfect low-maintenance way to turn your home into a lush, green, oasis…no gardening skills required.
JULIET – DON’T WASTE, CREATE! EASTER CRAFTS FROM THE RECYCLE BIN
With money a bit tight for many of us this year, spending a lot on Easter gifts and decorations just isn’t on the cards…but why buy when you can make them yourself? Juliet’s sharing some fun Easter crafts that are made using something you already have on hand: the humble egg carton! From gorgeous cards to cute carrot bunting, you’ll be amazed by what you can make with the contents of your recycling bin.
