Keynote Speaker: Costa Georgiadis
Landscape Architect, Environmental Educator, TV Presenter
Costa Georgiadis is a landscape architect, environmental educator, and television presenter with an all-consuming passion for plants and people. As co-creator and host of Costa’s Garden Odyssey for SBS, he caught the attention of a nation. Since 2013, Costa Georgiadis 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 Georgiadis 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 urbanizing world. The story of soil is a driving narrative for him. Through his workshops, lectures, keynotes, expos, and other events, Costa Georgiadis is actively involved in delivering his message to the broader community. His work with pre-schools, primary and high schools, TAFE colleges, universities, industry groups and community organisations demonstrates his ability to convey his knowledge of a permanent self-sustaining culture to any audience.
Costa Georgiadis’ long-awaited book, "Costa’s World: Gardening for the Soul, the Soil and the Suburbs", is available now from ABC Books.
Costa's Keynote was given on Day 3 of the conference, Thursday 23 November 2023.
