Show Notes
In this episode I’m joined by Joel Barnett — landscaper, garden builder, educator, host of The Landscaping Podcast, and the founder of InStyle Gardens and The Landscaping School.
Joel has spent years designing and building outdoor spaces, including award-winning show gardens, and in this conversation we dig into what actually makes a garden feel alive.
We talk about the world of show gardens... the pressure, the creativity, the construction, the plant choices, the storytelling, and the hidden work that goes into creating something people can walk past and instantly feel something from.
But this isn’t just a conversation about fancy gardens. We also explore what everyday gardeners can learn from professional landscaping: how to think about structure, flow, materials, soil, plants, maintenance, and the feeling of a space over time.
