S5 E3 of @the_gardenerben_podcast is available for you to listen to now, featuring a wonderful conversation with award-winning garden designer, TV presenter, author and RHS ambassador @manoj_malde_garden_design.

Who I bumped into at Chelsea 2026. Together, we formed a plan to bring you this lovely conversation during our chat. He shares with us how he approaches design, building meaningful relationships with his clients, and walks us through his process, and extends the offer of help to other, less experienced designers on their road to designing and building show gardens at the world-famous RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

So tune in again next week on Spotify, Apple, Amazon and, of course, my YouTube channel.

Until next week, happy gardening!

Series 5 and episode 2 of @the_gardenerben_podcast podcast features a conversation with Jodie and Lorraine, fondly known as the Mushroom Sisters of @caleybrothers.

I have had the pleasure of bumping into them several times during the 2026 show season. Their simply jaw-dropping displays of their beautiful homegrown mushroom kits are enough to stop you in your tracks and make your mouth water. Hugely passionate about the food that they grow and eat, they supply home-growing mushroom kits, have written a book called Project Mushroom, and have unbelievably created a mushroom-based gin.

I hope that you enjoy the conversation and feel inspired to grow mushrooms of your own at home, as Mark and I have. Mainland UK customers can go online and get 15% off when ordering using the code MUSHROOMBEN. Why not give it a go yourself?

The Gardener Ben Podcast returns for season five and episode one for a very special episode featuring the Reverend Canon Dr Tess Lawton, Canon Missioner of @winchestercathedral.
For a conversation around the Wild Festival of Flowers and Nature, hosted by Winchester Cathedral from the 15th to the 19th of September, the event sees floral installations packed into this incredibly impressive, humbling and beautiful space, with themes spiralling around biodiversity, well-being, sustainability, climate, creativity and hope.
During the event, the outside will be very much brought in to the heart of the cathedral, with multiple floral installations, hands-on workshops and unexpected performances. You can get the tickets for the Wild Festival of Flowers and Nature directly from Winchester Cathedral’s website and via their social media channels.

So join me again next week and, until then, happy gardening.

S4E9 of The Gardener Ben Podcast is streaming now.

This week is a very special episode, not featuring very much of me. In fact, the episode has been brought together by some of you who visited the garden during our open weekend a few weeks ago.

The episode has been recorded by my husband, Mark, and captures some of your thoughts and impressions of the garden here at North Lodge, featuring:

And others.

The podcast will be taking a short break but will be back with you on Monday, 6th July.
