Joh and Graham host the show from Floriade in Canberra, the Southern Hemisphere's largest flower festival! Over one million bulbs and annuals will be in bloom at the event so there's lots to see. Joh and Graham will check out the latest releases in the plant world and also the amazing floral designs which all fit in with this year's theme Aussie icons, myths and legends. After seeing the pictures you'll want to get down there yourself - and the best thing of all is that it's free.

Joh and Pete visit the first two of our properties in our Royal Australian Institute of Architects' Best Homes Awards series The first property they look at is a Victorian home at Port Philip Bay just outside of Melbourne. This house has a strong sporting theme throughout. You'll be amazed at what cricket bats, stumps, an image of Thorpe and bicycle wheels can be used for in a house!

The second property Joh and Pete visit is a home in the southern suburbs in Perth. The house is owned by a couple who wanted flexible living areas to suit their needs. With the clever use of dividers and position the architect has created a floor plan that will actually change size.

You don't need to have a cellar to store wine these days. If you've got a bookshelf in the corner that's collecting dust and some PVC piping you've got the beginnings of Rob's clever and stylish wine rack.

Why not get a spring in your step in the kitchen this weekend with Karen's pasta prima vera. She's going to add some spring greens, zucchini and peas to create this very flavoursome pasta dish.

Just like clothes, food comes back into fashion too! Ed ads a new twist to a couple of old favorite canapes. We're talking about devils on horseback, camembert vol-au-vents and mini pizzas. They're simple and a great quick snack option for your next summer party.

During the episode at Floriade, a raised mobile garden table was shown as one of the exhibition entries. I really would like to buy one of these for my grandmother for Christmas but I can't remember who made them or what they were called. Episode is no longer available. Can anyone help?
