The Gardener Ben Podcast

S5E8 of @the_gardenerben_podcast is available for you to listen to now, streaming across Apple, Amazon, Spotify and my YouTube channel.

Containing information on a change to my professional growing advice for planting bare-root roses.

On this week’s episode, I’m joined by the team at @creative.opportunities.bristol, a small, independent Bristol-based charity offering supported employment and training for people with disabilities who are often very disadvantaged and overlooked when searching for employment.

I had the pleasure of being shown around their plots a few weeks ago and could have spent all day with the team as they showed me all the wonderful things they had going on at the charity. However, the charity does need your help and, like all of us, is being squeezed financially. They’re in the process of adding an Amazon Wish List to the top of their Instagram profile and a Donate Now button to their website. If you would like to offer any support whatsoever to this really important and very special charity, please do consider offering them any help that you can.

S5E7 @the_gardenerben_podcast is available to listen to now on Apple, Spotify, Amazon and my YouTube channel.

This week, I have the absolute pleasure of sharing with you a relaxed and informal conversation with the incredibly talented garden designer @samoutingdesigns.

Sam is not only an accomplished garden designer in his own right, making his debut at the Sandringham Flower Show with his very first independent long border design, but is also part of the dedicated team of horticulturalists responsible for beautifying the areas around the Chelsea Flower Show, which many of us take completely for granted, ensuring that they not only look exceptional during the show itself but also can be enjoyed all the way through the year by the Chelsea Pensioners who are resident at the world-famous hospital.

With beauty and plant sustainability at the heart of his work, I hope you enjoy the conversation and head over to his media channels and show his account some love.

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

Next week, I have the pleasure of sharing with you a conversation with the incredibly lovely @samoutingdesigns, who is an independent garden designer who debuted his very first beautiful border at the Sandringham Flower Show 2026. He’s also part of the very talented team responsible for landscaping and planting all of the public areas we see around the Chelsea Flower Show, ensuring that each of the many areas people take for granted is not only beautiful, sustainable and planted to stand the test of time, but can also be used and enjoyed by the Chelsea Pensioners on a day-to-day basis.

So, join me again next week to listen to that conversation.

Until next week, happy gardening!
