Costa and his all-consuming passion for plants and people caught the attention of a nation when he became co-creator and host of Costa’s Garden Odyssey for SBS. Since 2013, Costa has continued his journey as the much-loved host of one of the ABC’s most iconic and Logie award-winning programs, Gardening Australia. Beyond the screen, Costa is deeply involved with the importance of biodiversity and habitat, regenerative agriculture, permaculture and holistic land practices that deal with the issues arising from a rapidly urbanising world.
