Reflecting on the many tips, tricks and piles of compost Gardening Australia has broadcast over 1500 episodes, Millie’s standout memory is of a segment featuring a walking trail designed for – and by – people suffering from dementia and their carers.

Woowookarung Regional Park on Wadawurrung Country outside Ballarat, Victoria, covers 641ha of local Messmate stringybark woodland and native heath, and is home to Australia’s first dementia friendly forest and sensory trail.

Not only was it a very moving story for Millie personally but a surprise ending made her proud of the great teamwork that goes into each GA episode.

This segment is from Gardening Australia Season 35, Episode 34, our 1500th!
