“I was never the biggest tree in the forest,” says Costa Georgiadis of his 16-year-old self – who grew into Australia’s favourite gardener. In his Letter to My Younger Self, Costa reveals how vacuuming the pool, a slice of mouldy cake and his Papou’s prized secateurs made him the man he is today. Plus, he shares his tips for what to plant in your garden this spring!
“The most valuable thing that my family gave me and my most precious asset is certainty. My parents provided certainty. And my grandparents were that same metronome of certainty. When you went over, the first thing they would say is ‘you’ve got to have something to eat’. And I knew Papou would always be out in the garden.”
