Jason has been in the gardening and landscaping industry for over 25 years and is known for his appearances on Channel 7, including Better Homes and Gardens.

However, he is also a four-time Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show gold medalist and his team won the Silver Gilt medal at the Chelsea Flower show in 2012.

“I’m looking forward to visiting Griffith’s rural community gardens that are completely different to city gardens I work with,” Mr Hodges said.

“Griffith is very pretty and what I love most about country gardens is that they feature beautiful stretches of lawn and garden beds that the community can enjoy.

“I also enjoy the fact that I can encourage new home owners and children to be the gardeners that our parents once were.”
