Most gardeners wait until winter or spring to think about layout—and that’s exactly why they end up frustrated, overwhelmed, and constantly reworking their garden every year.
In this video, I’m walking you through how I’m designing my 2026 garden layout right now, while the lessons from this season are still fresh. This isn’t about fancy software or perfect drawings—it’s about creating a garden that actually works for your life, your space, and your energy.
We’ll talk through:
How to evaluate what worked (and what didn’t) in your current garden
Why planning early makes your next season easier—not harder
How to design a layout that reduces overwhelm and decision fatigue
Simple ways to think long-term so your garden gets better every year
If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly starting over, constantly changing things, or constantly reacting instead of enjoying your garden—this video is for you.
Planning ahead doesn’t mean doing more. It means doing things on purpose.
🌱 Grab a notebook, pause when you need to, and start dreaming about a calmer, more intentional 2026 garden.

Very encouraging video! Thanks!
Love this video. Your first garden is always an experiment, to learn from and grow in knowledge from there. I'm improving every year as I learn more and more and how to get more and more out of my small space.
Great info! Thank you!
Love it " Your garden is yours" learning from mistakes is some of the best ways to learn as long as we don't repeat the same mistake. Thanks for sharing yours.
Great video
I always spend so much more in plants than I've ever gotten in produce.😢
