The Gardener Ben Podcast, honest conversations from the heart of the garden.
Join Ben as he explores the world of gardening with real people sharing real experiences – from horticulture pros to passionate home gardeners, and sometimes stories far beyond the garden gate. Each episode is anchored with seasonal insights and updates from North Lodge, giving you a window into ongoing projects, tips, and observations in real time.
Whether it’s English roses, modern cottage gardens, or everyday gardening challenges, expect practical guidance, authentic stories, and open, relatable conversations about what really goes on in gardens… and in life.
S5E5 of the @the_gardenerben_podcast is revisited this week for a relaxed and informal conversation with rose-breeding legend Brad Jalbert of @selectroses.
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.
Brad joins me to once again talk everything roses and to share his wonderful news.
The Gardener Ben Podcast is proudly brought to you in association with Peter Beales Roses, 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, TikTok and YouTube.

S5E3 Manoj Malde
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.
