In short: Ron, a long-time gardener based in the hills of Western Australia, shares his morning ritual of inspecting prized chrysanthemum blooms. This segment explores the patience and history behind his floral passion, offering a glimpse into the life of a dedicated grower.
Residing on Whadjuk Country in Walliston, Western Australia, Ron has been cultivating plants since his youth. His specific focus on chrysanthemums began in the early 1980s, a pursuit that continues to define his daily routine. Each morning, his first task is to carefully examine his flowers, which include varieties such as 'Seaton’s Galaxy', 'Seaton’s Flirt', 'Seaton’s J’adore', and 'Seaton’s Ruby'.
This feature is part of the 35th season of Gardening Australia, a program that serves as a horticultural resource through television, print, and digital media. By showcasing the expertise of dedicated individuals, the show provides inspiration for gardeners looking to refine their own cultivation techniques.
