Better homes and gardens this week visits a recycling wonder, a toy repair group and the suburb known as Officer Central.
Johanna – The creative life of Geneva
If you love crafts and cycling projects, you will know and love this social media sensation. Geneva Vanderzeil has built a business and life that turns waste into treasure. She started her social media career almost twenty years ago as a DIY fashion blogger and when she and her young family bought their first home in Brisbane, she brought her unique upcycling approach to her home too. These days, Geneva does everything from home upcycling projects to DIY dollhouses, and she also has a huge online presence. Johanna gets a personal tour of Geneva’s beautiful, recycled home and discovers why she enjoys making old things new again.
Dr. Harry – Picking up a Cavoodle puppy
They are the most popular dog breed in Australia, and for good reason. Affectionate, friendly, hypoallergenic and cute as a button, cavoodles make great pets. If you’re thinking about adding one to your family, Dr. Harry has all the information you need before the cavoodle stork comes to visit.
Colin – Seasoned green eggs
How do you like your eggs? If Colin has anything to do with it, the answer will be green and full of vegetables. He shows you how to make an omelet with coriander, chili, cumin and ginger. Filled with a spicy arugula-mint salad and topped with roasted peanuts, you may have never tried an egg like this before, but you’ll definitely make them again!
Juliet – If toys could talk
With Christmas in the very near future, the elves at Santa’s Toy Shop are working around the clock. But there’s another place, in Sydney’s northern suburbs, where a team of dedicated volunteers are working just as hard. The Peninsula Senior Citizens Toy Repair Group works to bring joy to thousands of children around the world by repairing used toys. It’s a lot of work, but these volunteers love it… and there’s no end to what they can fix! Juliet is here to help them.
Charlie – Secrets to a successful garden
A great suburban backyard isn’t just about looks… gardens have to perform well too… and Charlie is helping this western Sydney garden work overtime! Louise and her family already have chooks and a mulberry tree, but they dream of upgrading their vegetable garden this spring and summer. So Charlie sets them up for vegetable growing success with a rustic DIY potting bench and shed… because growing vegetables isn’t just about what you put in the ground, it’s also about the prep work. The end result not only looks great… it will feed the family for years to come.
Clarissa – Indonesian corn fritters
Corn fritters are an Australian brunch classic, but in Indonesia they are served at any time of the day. Made with kaffir lime leaves and coriander, and served with a pear and cabbage salad. Take a bite of Clarissa’s Indonesian corn fritters and you’ll want them 24/7.
Adam + Melissa – A look at Officer Central
With no end in sight to Australia’s housing crisis, you might be forgiven for thinking you’re out of home ownership altogether, especially if you live in a big city like Melbourne. Just 50km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD, a new suburb is being created with hundreds of affordable homes. It is called Officer Central and there are also shops, schools and green areas nearby. But what is life like in a newly created suburb? And is this the right option for your family? Adam and Melissa visit Officer Central to find answers.
Friday 7pm on Seven.
