S4E7 Dakic garden design

S4E7 of the Gardener Ben podcast is streaming now

This week I have the absolute pleasure in bringing you a conversation with husband and wife gardening duo Bryony and Jonathan from @dakicgardendesign.

After the huge success at BBC Gardeners’ Spring Fair in Hampshire in 2025, this year they’re undertaking a massive project with a huge exciting garden installation at BBC Gardeners’ World Live, which takes place between the 18th and 21st of June.

Their design is packed full of tropical foliage, texture and bold colours, and I’ve been following along closely on social media to see how they’re getting on ahead of the show.

All three of us are neuro spicy, so to say that I enjoyed our conversation is an understatement. Finding myself on a call with two other like-minded people was an absolute pleasure, so I hope that you listen to the conversation and enjoy it just as much as I did.

The Gardener Ben Podcast is brought to you proudly 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 and on TikTok.

Ahead of the @peterbealesroses rose festival, which takes place at their show garden in Norfolk between the 20th and 21st of June next week, I am joined by Dave @hoover_who_better, who after the sad loss of his mother decided to commemorate her life by naming a Peter Beales Rose after her. ‘Joan Derwent’ was launched at the Chelsea Flower Show and will have an official name day very soon at Peter Beales. Dave joins me next week on the podcast, so tune in then to find out more.

Until then, happy gardening.
