No doubt the season premiere was pushed back by Seven’s coverage of Women’s Ashes test as well as Sri Lanka-Australia test series. It will be interesting to see if the number of new episodes will be cut back this year as the result.

Update: Return date is 14 February.

Sorry can I just confirm are these summer episodes repeat segments from last year? Or new segments under a summer label?

New 2025 season as has been promoted on Seven as “Starts This February”.

No sorry I’m talking about the current summer series on Fridays that’s been on since December. Either on 7Two or 7 depending on cricket coverage. It’s still been on at 7pm regardless.

BHG Summer finishes on 7 February. New season starts on 14 February.

Ok but that’s not what I’m asking.

I’m asking if the summer series is new content or is it just segments thrown together from the year just gone.

BH&G Summer are repeats from 2024, not new episodes.

Thank you. :pray:

Better Homes and Gardens returns loved up for Valentine’s Day

Australia’s #1 lifestyle program, Better Homes and Gardens, returns for its 31st year on air at 7.00pm Friday, 14 February on Channel 7 and 7plus.

The Better Homes and Gardens family are excited to be back together for their most inspiring season yet. It’s Valentine’s Day and the team are rolling up their sleeves to help some incredible charity organisations which share the love all year round.

From a community garden spreading love and togetherness in the local community, to a farm sanctuary giving animals a second chance at life and more, these amazing organisations show what can be achieved by reaching out to others, sharing kindness and generosity.

Must-see segments in the 2025 season return include:

  • Johanna catches up with some of Australia’s biggest music icons as she goes behind-the-scenes at the OzHarvest concert, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the country’s leading food rescue organisation
  • Longtime friends Colin and Clarissa team up in the Oz Harvest gardens to share some food that epitomises what the organisation is all about – not letting leftovers go to waste!
  • Adam, Charlie and Juliet create some multi-purpose backyard areas for the residents of Stepping Stone House, in Sydney’s Dulwich Hill
  • Dr Harry visits Where Pigs Fly, a not-for-profit farm sanctuary and home to over 200 rescued, neglected and rehabilitated farm animals
  • Clarissa and Graham join forces to explore Henley Green Community Garden and to meet the “Happy Hens”, a team of volunteers who run the garden and are passionate about sustainable gardening and fostering community spirit
  • Pete visits a beautiful Bribie Island home that could be yours! Proceeds from the sale of the tropical haven will help fund vital medical care, research and education

The new season of Better Homes and Gardens airs each Friday at 7.00pm featuring host Johanna Griggs, Adam Dovile (DIY), Charlie Albone (landscaping), Colin Fassnidge (chef), Clarissa Feildel (cook), Dr Harry Cooper (vet), Graham Ross (gardening), Juliet Love (decorating and design), Melissa King (gardening) and Pete Colquhoun (architect).

2025 Episode 2 - 21st FEBRUARY 2025

JOHANNA + DR CHRIS BROWN – AMAZING HOMES: PADDINGTON HAVEN

When master craftsman Boris Tosic and his wife, Naomi, stumbled across a former hat factory in Sydney’s Paddington, they knew they could turn it into something special. It turned out to be Boris’s final project, as he sadly passed away in 2023. Built with love and attention to detail, Boris’s swan song is a stunning and dramatic family home. With five levels, a basement gym, sauna, cinema room and even a wood-panelled garage, the home was also built to house the owners’ extensive art collection. It’s such an amazing project that when local resident, Dr Chris Brown, found out we were heading here, he asked to come along…and he wasn’t disappointed. Join Johanna and Dr Chris as they check out this unforgettable home.

ADAM – ADVENTURE INTO THE CANADIAN WILDERNESS

Travelling to the remote wilderness of Canada’s British Columbia is like stepping into another world. And for the next two weeks, Adam is in in BC for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure where he’ll get up close and personal with grizzly bears, trek through pristine forests, visit a remarkable floating lodge, fish for wild crabs on crystal-clear lakes and so much more. This is a trip you won’t want to miss!

DR HARRY – SAUSAGE DOG FESTIVAL

Who doesn’t love a sausage dog? This week, Dr Harry’s checking out the Dachshtober Longdog Festival in NSW’s Hunter Valley. Complete with fancy dress competitions and the famous Longdog Dash, this festival celebrates all things dachshund and it’s all in aid of a great cause. One in four dachshunds suffer from Intervertebral Disc Disease, or IVDD, a crippling back condition. Funds raised at this event go to IVDD research and to helping those dogs affected by this horrific disease. Dr Harry’s here to find out more…and to spend a day celebrating this most amazing of dog breeds.

COLIN – SUMMER PUDDING

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…berry season! Colin’s making the most of it with his twist on the classic summer pudding. Made with strawberries, blackberries and raspberries, plus lemon verbena for a bit of a kick, this delicious dessert is a great way to use up stale bread…and you don’t even have to turn the oven on.

CLARISSA – TERIYAKI CHICKEN RICE PAPER ROLLS

Forget the same boring old sandwiches and start the school year with Clarissa’s Teriyaki Chicken Rice Paper Rolls instead. They’re super simple to make and guaranteed to be a lunchbox winner. Made with loads of veggies and served with sweet chilli sauce, they’re the perfect light lunch or snack for big kids and little kids alike.

CHARLIE – EDIBLE GARDEN

Ornamental plants often have different watering requirements to fruit and veggies…so how do you combine them? Charlie’s sharing his top tips for making ornamental and edible plants equally as happy in the same garden.

JULIET – STREAMLINED STORAGE, STYLE & ORGANISATION WITH MINIMAL TOOLS

When you step through your front door after a long day, the last thing you want to be greeted with is a disorganised and messy front entryway. Juliet’s sharing some great ideas to get your entryway into shape. With loads of storage and a clever and unexpected design statement, this entryway just got a whole lot more inviting.

GRAHAM – CLAUDIA NEVELL GARDEN

Graham is on NSW’s idyllic Coffs Coast to visit a spectacular tropical garden that’s been lovingly built over more than 20 years. The private garden of landscape designer, Claudia Nevell, this subtropical oasis extends over three large blocks and includes a private courtyard, kitchen garden, loads of fruit trees and even a chook run. Best of all, it expertly combines tropical plants, natives and exotics to create a layered landscape full of inspiration for your garden.

MELISSA – FANCY PLANTS

Vintage and antique stores are known for selling beautiful furniture and décor for the inside of your home…but have you ever heard of an antique store for your garden? Melissa’s visiting The Merchants Warehouse, in Sydney’s inner west, where some of the city’s most celebrated antique dealers sell their wares…but out the back you’ll find a unique nursery using antiques in a totally different way. Rachel Gleeson first started her nursery, Ivy Alley, in a suburban lane…but the business got so big, she needed more space! Now at The Merchant’s Warehouse, Rachel’s work is proof that almost anything can be used as a planter: from antique candelabras to old oil cans and even pianos. Melissa’s stopping by to admire Rachel’s work and to make some cute teacup planters inspired by it.
