He has received treatment for several skin cancers and prostate cancer and cites his experience with chemicals in the early days of his career as a motivating f actor in his interest in organic gardening. however, in November 2015 Ross was instrumental in the establishment of the Australian Garden Council with a focus on the promotion of gardening, garden education and garden tourism.
According to Graham Ross, it was motivated by his view that, “For too long gardeners and horticulturists, the essence of a multi-billion dollar domestic industry, have been ignored, taken for granted and undervalued in Australia business, government, educational and community circles”. David Glenn, Tim Entwisle from the Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens and gardening writer Trevor Nottle were also named as members of the founding council. Ross described the goal of the new council as being to “reinstate gardening onto the national agenda”.
In September 2016 an article in the Brisbane Courier Mail revealed that the Australian Garden Council had given its backing to a project called Australis, an extended gardening festival proposed to be held in 2020. Graham Ross was quoted as saying “the AGC strongly supported Australis” which has elsewhere been described by one of the key protagonists as a “catalyst for future urban developments”.

In a reference to the ongoing contest around where the event was to be held and the role of property development in the proposal, the Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate said he was “unwilling to give away public land for this proposal”. By 2019 it was apparent that the bid to establish the event had failed. In the lead-up to the 2019 federal election, it was announced that the Australian Garden Council was to be awarded $490,000 to fund a “four-year program to promote horticulture skills and careers”.
