Jamie Durie

Jamie Paul Durie OAM (born 3 June 1970) is an Australian horticulturalist and landscape designer, furniture designer, television host, television producer, and author of eleven books on landscape architecture, garden design and lifestyle. He is the founder and director of a design company ''PATIO Landscape Architecture'' and ''Durie Design'' and also is a 2008 Gold Medal winner at Britain's prestigious Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show in Chelsea, London for ''Australian Garden and designed by Durie''. As of 2018, Durie has hosted more than 50 design shows around the world.

Durie was the television host of the 2008 Australian lifestyle program ''The Outdoor Room'', broadcast on the Seven Network. He hosted the dynamic design makeover show ''HGTV Showdown'' in 2009. Durie hosted the US PBS series ''The Victory Garden'' from 2007 to 2010. The show is PBS network's longest-running gardening TV series.

Following the end of ''The Outdoor Room'' on the Seven Network in 2010, Durie relocated the concept of the series to broadcast on the American HGTV network as ''The Outdoor Room with Jamie Durie''. Unable to bring his own Australian design team along, Durie put together a new team of top-notch designers, horticulturists and contractors. In his HGTV series, Durie rescues forlorn yards in Southern California with design schemes inspired by gardens and landscapes from around the world. Filmed mostly in and around Los Angeles, ''The Outdoor Room with Jamie Durie'' uses sustainable ideas - such as low-water plantings and reclaimed hardscape - to design intimate, livable environments for erstwhile non-gardeners.

Since 2015, Durie has co-presented as a visiting expert in gardening & landscaping, on the Australian lifestyle program, ''The Living Room'', which airs on Network Ten.

Durie is currently contracted to ''RUSH Entertainment Group'', that organises events. Provided by Wikipedia
