The Gardener Ben Podcast

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.

The Gardener Ben Podcast is proudly brought to you in association with @peterbealesroses, winner of 31 Chelsea Gold Medals and creating timeless roses since 1968. Go online and shop at www.peterbealesroses.com, and make sure that you’re following along on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

Next week, join me for the second of my conversations recorded in Bristol, this time with the team at @creative.opportunities.bristol, a small independent charity offering meaningful and engaging horticultural work opportunities for disabled people.

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!

Brad, who was recently inducted into the @americanrosesociety Rose Breeders Hall of Fame, is just the second Canadian ever to have been awarded this incredibly prestigious accolade!
Brad is a rose retailer and lifelong rose hybridiser, and many of you may have seen me in front of some of his absolutely beautiful creations during the review season of 2026.

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.
