The Gardening Gang on Coast FM 963

If your perfect Saturday morning involves getting your hands dirty in the garden while grooving to some classic tunes, then The Gardening Gang is your new weekend ritual. Broadcasting every Saturday from 8:00AM to 10:00AM,

The Gardening Gang is the Central Coast's favourite way to kick off the weekend. It's a lively mix of gardening advice, local knowledge, and upbeat Classic Hits from the late 60s,70s and '80s—because who says pruning can't have a soundtrack?

Each week the Gang features a comprehensive Central Coast Local Markets Update - Planting Tips from Tim - Getting your hands Dirty - Central Coast what's on - Weekly Pet Advice - Tips from Handyman Brett - Gardening advice with What's Hot Vicki - and our Gardening Travel spotlight.
