IN THE first of an occasional series in Country Living, this week we dedicate our site to gardening and green thumbs.
Following the devastation wrought by Victoria's bushfires, we pay homage to some of our state's gardens.
We look at upcoming Open Garden Scheme events, speaking to a former Prime Minister and his wife, as well as the new host of ABC's Gardening Australia, and we discuss how your garden can survive the drought.
And our regular columnist Peter Cundall recounts a personal story of how he became infatuated with plants.
Look out in coming months for more special editions, including food and culture.
