A weekly ramble with the most diverse folk from our world of green fingers, green thumbs and dirty knees.
Flowers, vegetables, trees, shrubs, herbs and more - it’s bound to be covered. On your commute, or in the garden of your choosing - we’ll be here to keep your ears busy.
❓Do you wish you could photograph your garden better...?
Welcome to Tales From The Potting Bench, your go-to podcast for all things green and growing! This is where, you'll hear fascinating stories from plant lovers, experts, and passionate growers who are just as obsessed with plants as you and I.
🌱 In this episode I’m joined by someone who looks at a garden perhaps a little differently to how the everyday gardener does, and they do so…through a lens.
Jason Ingram is a world-renowned photographer who specialises in gardens, food and people and has photographed some of the most beautiful gardens across the world, as well as gardeners for the likes of portraits and to accompany books too. We discuss how he uses light, the best time of day to shoot and so much more. Enjoy!
To see more of Jason, head over and follow him on Instagram now, where you'll find him as @jasoningram (https://www.instagram.com/jasoningram/)
Jason's book 'How To Photograph Gardens' is out now, and you can find full details, here (https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/jason-ingram/how-to-photograph-gardens/9781781579510/).
