Welcome back to The Relished Garden Podcast. Today I’m joined by Stevie, my right hand and a horticulturalist at Relish Gardens, as we talk about why fall isn’t the end of the gardening season, and is actually the start of next year’s garden. We’re sharing insights from the gardens we care for, how we approach seasonal transitions, and what you can do now to shape your garden for next spring. Think of this as your nudge to not head inside just yet. Fall is the time to assess your space while it’s still fresh and make changes that will set you up for a garden you love next year.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why fall is “go time” in the garden and how it sets the foundation for seasons ahead
• What maintenance tasks we focus on in the fall, from mulching and transplanting to editing and assessing your space
• How we like to refresh our containers in the fall
• The seasonal rituals we love most this time of year, from dried flower arrangements to turning garden harvests into soup, and how these simple acts can bring people together

Each week, we’ll talk about how to design and care for a garden that’s beautiful, personal, and built for the life you actually live. You’ll hear real stories and advice from the gardens we design and maintain, to help you create a space that cares for you and the people who call it home. It’s about slowing down and relishing in the abundance and ever-changing nature of your garden, one season at a time.

Let’s dig in.
