Costa is in Goulburn, NSW, to visit a remarkable wetlands project that local nature-lovers have created on the site of a former brickworks. 10 years ago a group of volunteers collaborated with council to regenerate the 13.5-hectare site, constructing rock berms through the old claypits. This redirected and filtered stormwater back into the river systems. The site is now managed by the Friends & Residents of Goulburn Swamplands aka FROGS.

Costa is at Southern Cross University at Lismore, NSW, to visit the gardens where plants are studied and researched. Peter Mouatt works there as a Pharmacognosist - a scientist who studies the chemistry of natural compounds. The herbarium there holds thousands of specimens of plants that have been used as herbs or medicines and the researchers look at their chemistry and relationships.

Helianthos is the Greek word for sunflower and Costa is visiting a farm at the foot of the Blue Mountains in NSW that specialises in these sunny, bright plants. Marika and John Saliba have turned over a large field at their family farm to growing these giant daisies. John is a former landscaper who was looking for a change of pace and Marika says the plants have been her favourite since she was a child, so they decided to try growing them for the cut-flower market.
