Designer Tom Massey talks about his 2023 Chelsea show garden for the Royal Entomological Society, which he hopes will show how important people and their gardens are to insects. Tom discusses the design, which will include an outdoor laboratory with curving roof inspired by the shape of an insect’s eye; as well as what brownfield gardening is, why we don’t use the term ‘pest’ anymore, and which insect is his all-time favourite.

If you could create your dream garden from pieces of all of your favourite places, and if you could grow any plants in the world, what would you choose? Who would you have as your imaginary head gardener, or garden designer?

In Talking Gardens, the podcast from the team behind Gardens Illustrated, host Stephanie Mahon asks the great and the good of the gardening world to construct their ultimate fantasy growing space.

Tune in to hear what Great Dixter’s head gardener Fergus Garrett, gardener and broadcaster Monty Don, and garden writer Alice Vincent choose for their dream gardens.

Discover why head gardener Troy Scott-Smith is no longer watering the borders at Sissinghurst; why herb expert Jekka McVicar loves a moon gate; and how gardening saved the life of Charlie Harpur, head gardener at Knepp Castle Walled Garden.

We also learn what ethnobotanist James Wong’s imaginary Eden would look like, and what garden designer Sarah Price would never allow in her garden.
