All you ladies who have been complaining of a lack of male gardening pin-ups, your wait is over. Aussie gardening icon Jamie Durie made his US debut on Oprah yesterday wooing the audience (predominantly female) and obviously making an impression on Oprah herself.

Durie starred in our own Backyard Blitz and has written a few landscaping books inlcuding Patio, The Source Book and Outdoor Kids. He's a perpetual celebrity fave and his charismatic personality has increased gardening's image to wide reaching audiences here in Oz.

It won't be the last of Durie on Oprah either. He's signed a lucrative deal as a regular renovation expert aside Nate Berkus. There is even talk that Durie may be entering into a deal with Harpo Productions for his own show in the US.

Kudos Jamie.
