Better Homes and Gardens Pitch

I have had the best week – will recap soon. I am just sending my pitch off to Better Homes and Gardens… Common’ you good thing!

Sustainable Gardening or Organics

Naturopath and herbalist, Sam Beau Patrick would love to host a segment for average Australians wanting to grow their own vegetables and herbs. Over time the segment could expand to include all aspects of eco-friendly living in the domestic setting (chicken hatch, grey water usage etc).

Consumers are enquiring and demanding more “cleaner” produce in Australia and with Peak Oil being reached, it is now that people are starting to look towards self sufficiency, even in urban environments. Globally organics are growing at 10-15% (the fastest growing food sector) and in Australia 6 in 10 people buy organics occasionally.

It is even more topical at the moment due to the current Carbon Tax debate.

The segment will draw a new audience and will inspire the current audience. No other television station is hosting such a segment at the moment. Alternative stories can include children as growing vegetables is a wonderful way to introduce children to the yard.

Segment suggestions

1. Plant an organic balcony garden with your own herbs

2. Visiting families who have planted their own garden and ask them about their tips and favorite foods to grow

3. Herbs and their healing qualities (eg sage, thyme)

4. Visits to organic farms, markets and talking with farmers about reasons why growing vegetables and gardening are so good for individuals and families.
