#81 - The Art Of Award-Winning Show Gardens | Joel Barnett [InStyle Gardens]

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.Follow Joel here: https://linktr.ee/InStyle_Gardenshttps://www.instagram.com/instyle_gardens/If you enjoy these episodes and want to show your support to allow me to continue doing what I’m doing, the best thing you can do is subscribe or follow the show.
