357: James Basson

James Bason has designed and won medal for show gardens at RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the Gardening World Cup Japan and the Singapore Garden Festival to name but a few. He is a member of the Society of Garden Designers (SGD) in the UK.On this episode of the garden podcast Peter Donegan sits down with James Basson to chat pretty much everything from walking the walk and being James Basson to the garden at RHS Chelsea 2017 which, despite winning almost Gold and Best in Show, was compared to a graveyard and took what I can only describe as a battering in the mainstream media.The Sodshow is available weekly in Spotify, all good podcast stores and www.sodshow.comPeter and James talk lonely places, stirring the pot, his first ever garden, people you respect in the industry, empathy, just what the future holds for the business and so much more. He really needs no introduction. Out of respect and more to the point for the gentleman that he is outside of gardens, I had considered writing nothing here; if you get me. I hope you get me.  And, if you have a mo, a rate / review in iTunes would be just fan-tastic.
