Melissa King

Melissa King is one of Australia’s most trusted and beloved gardening voices — a down‑to‑earth expert who brings deep horticultural knowledge together with a genuine passion for helping people grow.

In 2021, Melissa joined the Scotts family as our proud brand ambassador for the products gardeners know and love, including Scotts Osmocote and Scotts Lawn Builder. Since then, she’s brought her trademark energy, clarity and creativity to everything she does with us — from Masterclass videos to product education and inspiring home gardeners across the country.

Melissa’s love for plants started young. She grew up in and around her grandparents’ nursery, spent her weekends at the local garden centre, and eventually followed that passion all the way through a horticultural degree. She’s been growing, experimenting and sharing her knowledge ever since.

For more than a decade, Australian audiences have welcomed Melissa into their homes through her TV work — from The Garden Gurus to her own online show The Gardenettes. Melissa is now a presenter on Channel 7's Better Homes and Gardens, a multiple Logie Award-winning Australian lifestyle television program. 

Beyond the screen, Melissa continues to champion gardening across the country. She’s a regular face at garden centres, flower shows and international garden festivals, where she brings her expert knowledge to life, connects with fellow plant lovers and helps inspire the next generation of confident, curious gardeners.
