💐 This week we're talking cut flowers!

Welcome to Tales From The Potting Bench, a planty podcast where you’ll hear all manner of stories from knowledgeable, passionate and invaluable people who love plants as much as you and I.

We’re here at the monumental 7th season of the podcast and thanks to you, the listeners, we’re back with even more guests and this season promises to be even bigger, even better and with even more planty goodness! This season I'm focussing on those people who really know what they're talking about in a series of episodes I'm calling 'Experts In Their Field'.

Along with a brand-new season, is a brand-new sponsor, and I’m thrilled to share that I’m joined for season 7 by the powerhouse of the plant world, Westland Horticulture.

Picture the scene, we’ve all been there…you’ve grown a whopper of a dahlia, or your Ranunculus have had a storming year and suddenly, you’ve decided you want to be a cut flower farmer!

Roz Chandler is a cut flower expert, a flower farmer and a business guru with years of experience across all of those fields. In this episode we discuss the reality of cut flower farming, both the good and the bad, running your own business and much much more. Enjoy!
