The May issue of SALIFE is out now, with a special feature on gardens and a tell-all interview with South Australian television icon Anne Wills.

She’s a big character who’s had an even bigger career, having first graced our TV screens more than 55 years ago. However, Anne “Willsy” Wills is back, reprising one of her early roles for a special show in the forthcoming Adelaide Cabaret Festival – Adelaide Tonight. Now 76 years young and as full of laughter as ever, you won’t want to miss this interview.

In this issue we also take a look at a pastime many of us have discovered (or rediscovered) over the past year or so: gardening. We meet some of the new generation of horticulturists tending to SA’s gardens, and gardening expert Kim Syrus tells us how to get the most from spring bulbs.

We also get the low-down on hanging and trailing indoor plants and experience the wonderful story of Rita Pietrobon’s garden, winner of the City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters sustainable garden award – it’s both heart-warming and inspiring.

The SALIFE fashion team explored a different kind of garden this month – the Adelaide Himeji Garden – pairing bright florals and bold prints for a hot winter look.

While we may be cautious of how much sodium we consume, salts can be used in so many different ways in the kitchen, particularly when it comes to preserving home-grown veggies.

Our dinner party this month takes desserts (yes, plural) to a whole new level, as pastry chef and Barossa local Cheryse Zagler indulges her passion for indulgence – and there’s a lime and tequila tart recipe sweet tooths will want to try.
