Quotes about Jane Edmanson
I’m standing outside Jane Edmanson’s Melbourne home, drenched by the flash floods sweeping the city. A tour of her garden, I assume, is out of the question.“Nonsense!” she says, zipping up her coat. “There’s no such thing as ‘gardening weather’. It doesn’t matter if it’s raining, you just get out there and do what you can.”She strides through a muddy garden bed to get to her lemon verbena, then yanks off a sprig and crushes it. “Smell that,” she says, lifting it to my nose. “Isn’t it marvellous?” Her front yard is a jumble of flowers, shrubs, trees and herbs. Some might consider it a smidge “overgrown”; she prefers the word “full”. She adores bushes that spill onto paths and Bellis perennis daisies sprouting in the cracks.
Michale Lallo, Why are we so afraid of our gardens? Aussies supposedly love the great outdoors, yet some of us are intimidated by our own back yards. Jane Edmanson wants this to change.

“I’ve been doing it for 34 years,” says Jane Edmanson. “Can you imagine that?”Edmanson is speaking about her time on Gardening Australia, where she has been a Television presenter presenter since the show began back in 1990. Outside of that role, the gardening expert has also published books on propagation and planting, and in 2004 received an Order of Australia medal for services to horticulture. She feels “very lucky” to have made a career out of her passion.
