Stephen Ryan is a horticulturalist who runs a rare plant nursery in Mt Macedon. He was the host of Gardening Australia on ABC TV, though that wasn’t his first TV gig by a long shot.

We catch up with Stephen in his beautiful private garden called Tugurium for a chat about his childhood, interest in rare plants and what every garden needs.
