Lynda Hallinan, editor-at-large of New Zealand Gardener magazine, has transformed her front yard into a lush garden filled with fruits and vegetables. Now she's showing homeowners how to transform unloved outdoor spaces into lush gardens capable of feeding families.
But judging by our families audition tape, it may not be as easy as Lynda thinks: the Cole's family are Jon who works in advertising, artist Devoney who is a stay at home mum, and their two young boys, Otis and Dash. Until now gardening hasn't been their strong point, but they want to put their p...
Last week marked the beginning of the families challenge. Construction waste in the existing soil meant the family needed raised beds, so everyone got stuck in and Lynda taught Devoney to save money by sowing her own seeds for the raised beds, but it didn't turn out to be an easy task. Today is t...
Lynda challenges the family to go on a veggie and fruit hunt while dealing with the frustration of cleaning up the soil from their cat's poop.

The garden may be flourishing but if the family want to continue producing an abundance of healthy crops, they need to learn all about 'feeding' their garden so today Lynda is teaching them all about their fertiliser options.
The family's vege patch is thriving with more produce than they can consume - so Lynda has a novel solution that should help them to offset the cost of setting up the garden - she's booked Devoney & Jon a stall at the Grey Lynn farmers markets, and they have to go along and try to make $100.
Devoney and Jon knew virtually nothing about vege gardening when they started this project, but that was three months ago and now their garden is an abundance of healthy edible crops, so today Lynda's back to give them two final tasks. Learning which plants they can save seeds from will save Devo...
