About this episode
In this episode of Hort Culture, the team shares what’s on their 2026 horticultural “vision boards.” From big-picture garden goals to deeply personal reflections, the conversation explores how visualization can shape both landscapes and mindsets.
Brett is leaning into maintenance mode—with a literal pile of mulch topping his list—focusing on soil health, polish, and finally taking time to enjoy the garden he’s built. Alexis shares her vision of creating lush, plant-filled living spaces that blur the line between indoors and out, while also embracing the idea that gardens (and growers) don’t have to be perfect to be good. Ray talks about redesigning his home garden for better proximity and enjoyment, bringing beauty closer to the back door and creating a cozy, lived-in outdoor nook.
Along the way, the crew dives into design, decision-making, perfectionism, visualization tools, and the importance of making space to simply sit and enjoy what you grow.
Whether you’re planning big changes or just spreading mulch, this episode will inspire you to think intentionally about your own horticultural year ahead.
