Costa Georgiadis (born 1 January 1964) is an Australian author, landscape architect, environmental educator and television presenter. Costa is the third host of ABC television series Gardening Australia after Peter Cundall and Stephen Ryan, and previously appeared as 'Costa the Garden Gnome' in the ABC Kids program Get Grubby TV.
Georgiadis was born in Sydney to parents Stan and Anne Georgardis, and grew up in North Bondi on the same street as his grandparents and uncle. He is the youngest of three children. His father, Stan, was an electrician.[1] His paternal grandfather, Constantine Georgiadis was born in Thessaloniki, and arrived in Australia in 1927 via South America. Constantine and wife Julia[2][3] were market gardeners, and were responsible for fostering Costa's early interest in gardening.[1][4][5]
