Tonight on Better Homes and Gardens: Nonna Fina’s surprise fame revealed as Mother’s Day inspiration takes centre stage
Better Homes and Gardens returns tonight with a mix of heartfelt storytelling, practical projects and Mother’s Day inspiration, as Johanna Griggs meets an unexpected internet sensation.
Aussie-Italian grandmother Delfina, better known as Nonna Fina, has built a massive online following thanks to videos shared by her granddaughter Maddie. What began as simple clips of recipes, kitchen tips and family banter has grown into a community of more than a million followers. In a surprising twist, Delfina only discovered her online fame after being recognised while out shopping. This week, Johanna joins the pair in the kitchen to learn more about the woman viewers have embraced as their “adopted Nonna”.

In the kitchen, Colin Fassnidge offers a timely dish ahead of Mother’s Day, preparing grilled poussin. The young chickens are marinated with Greek yoghurt, lemon, rosemary and thyme before being cooked on the barbecue. Paired with a Greek-style salad featuring fetta, cucumber and tomato, the dish is positioned as a simple but impressive meal for family celebrations.
Meanwhile, Graham Ross turns his attention to the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, examining how garden design can reflect both place and personality. He explores a selection of displays that aim to tell a story through their layout and planting choices.
For those looking for creative projects, Juliet Love demonstrates how everyday cardboard kitchen and toilet rolls can be repurposed into a sculptural floral bowl, offering a craft idea suitable for Mother’s Day gifting.
Adam Dovile also leans into the occasion, presenting a practical framing solution designed to display children’s artwork while allowing for easy updates, using accessible materials.
Rounding out the episode, Charlie Albone tackles a commonly overlooked outdoor space, showing how to transform a neglected side path affected by drainage issues and varying light conditions into a more functional and visually appealing area without significant expense.
Better Homes and Gardens airs tonight, Friday 8 May at 7.00pm on Channel 7 and 7plus.
