Millie Ross is a professional green thumb. As the co-host of Gardening Australia, she dispenses handy advice on matters such as starting your own veggie bed, picking the best seedlings and DIY-ing a back yard berry patch.

Ross has decades of experience in the garden. Before she stepped on screen with the ABC, she worked in garden centres, taught horticulture at Tafe and penned The Thrifty Gardener, a practical guide to building the garden you want with whatever you’ve got. She even worked as a researcher and writer on Gardening Australia before becoming a presenter.
