LANDSCAPE INDUSTRY PODCAST - THE FRONT GARDEN

‘The Front Garden’ is a fortnightly podcast that covers the latest in landscaping news, trends and stories from people within the industry. Hosted by Landscaping Victoria members and experienced landscaping professionals – Tyson Owen of Signature Landscapes and Chris Weiss of Formation Landscapes – ‘The Front Garden’ is now in its sixth season of production, having firmly established itself as a must-hear for any landscaper serious about their trade.

Typically, more at home behind a desk running their business than in a recording studio, Chris and Tyson were thrust into the limelight when they volunteered to start the podcast back in 2020, but now relish the job because they are in the front seat driving interesting conversations both they, and the listeners, gain knowledge from.

Filled with fascinating personal stories and journeys, life-changing events, and the highs and lows of their landscaping careers, the podcasts bring together a broad mix of landscaping professionals offering up their experiences for every industry professional to learn from.

“Bloody good listening… really enjoying it and there are plenty of things I’ve taken out of it already.”

Brent (On Deck Kitchens)

“Big fan of the show. I think it’s just the way the lads ask the questions and, how they are answered. That George Hatzimanolis episode. Poetry. Adored it. Beautifully done, again :)"

Peter Donegan (Peter Donegan Garden Design, Ireland)

A new episode is released every 2 weeks, and in 2022 the show rated in the top 25 percent of all downloads on Buzzsprout. Listeners are tuning in from 40 countries around the world, proving professionalism in business is important for Landscapers globally.
