Episode 9 (2x9)

Air date: May 13, 2010

The northwest corner of Tasmania is known as the Island Isle’s food bowl but it is also home to Australia’s only Topiary Town. The community of Railton has made a feature of these living green sculptures and Costa talks to the locals to learn more about topiary and how to trim shrubs into magical shapes. Costa also visits two boutique farmers who have unlocked the horticultural secrets to growing those difficult delicacies, ginseng and truffles.
