Welcome to The Relished Garden, where we have conversations about the intersection between your garden and your life. Hosted by Claire Lidell Hanna, founder and award-winning designer of Relish Gardens, this podcast explores everything from garden design, seasonal maintenance, food, preserving, and creating spaces for connection.

Gardening doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. You can grow cut flowers without having a flower farm, preserve food without selling your house and moving to a homestead, and care for your garden while still making time for the rest of your life. We share real stories from the gardens we design and maintain for clients—plus practical, approachable ideas to help you create personal garden spaces that are beautiful, functional, and uniquely yours.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or like your garden just isn’t coming together, this show is for you. Let’s talk about how to design a space you love—and how to truly relish your garden, season after season.

3: Not Loving Your Garden? How Observation and Data Can Help Fix What Feels Off

Épisode 4

lundi 20 octobre 2025 • Durée 22:51

Have you ever stood in your garden and thought, “Something feels off" or "This just isn’t working anymore”? Whether it’s subtle discontent or full-on frustration, that nagging feeling is often a sign that something needs to shift. In this episode, we’re diving into how to observe your space more critically, using both aesthetic cues and horticultural data, to understand what’s not serving you and what to do about it.

You’ll also hear from Stevie, one of our longtime Relish horticulturists, about how we assess gardens in the field, from overgrown chaos to subtle color clashes. Together, we’ll walk through how to look with intention, ask the right questions, and start making meaningful, doable changes.

In this episode, we cover:

How stepping back and observing can shift your perspective and make more analytical decisions in your garden.
Practical ways to evaluate plant health, layout, and color palette so you can make confident choices in your garden
How life transitions often trigger the need for a garden reassessment
How we use data and observation in the gardens we care for.

2: Fall in the Garden - Maintenance Tasks and Seasonal Rituals We Return to Every Year

Épisode 3

lundi 20 octobre 2025 • Durée 23:29

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

1: My Gardening Philosophy for Growing a Beautiful Life

Épisode 2

lundi 20 octobre 2025 • Durée 20:50

Welcome to the very first episode of The Relished Garden Podcast! I’m Claire, and I’m so glad you’re here.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the path that led me to start Relish Gardens, where we build and maintain beautiful gardens in the Seattle region. In this episode, I reflect on how early creative obsessions like building Barbie dream houses, rearranging my bedroom, and watching Martha Stewart shaped what it means to create a beautiful life. I walk through how beauty, food, and community shaped my philosophy of living a garden-centered life, and why gardening still feels like a form of play.

In this episode, I cover:

The way a childhood love of fashion, design, and creating beautiful spaces eventually led me to garden design
What it was like growing up in Northern California with access to homegrown food, and how that sparked a lifelong love of edible gardening and seasonal eating
Why gardening feels like play, and how it gives me the same sense of satisfaction I got from playing as a kid
How reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver helped reshape my ideas about homesteading and led me toward a more community-sufficiency approach to growing food
Why creating beautiful spaces has always felt essential to me, and how early influences like Martha Stewart helped me see the power of everyday aesthetics

5: How to Choose the Right Tree for Your Garden

Épisode 6

lundi 3 novembre 2025 • Durée 23:07

Fall is an ideal time to consider adding trees to your garden. It also happens to be one of the best planting windows, giving roots a head start before summer heat kicks in.

I can’t tell you the perfect tree for every site, but I can offer the kinds of questions and considerations that lead to better decisions, both aesthetically and horticulturally.

In this episode, I walk through the criteria I use to select and place trees in a design, and I encourage you to look beyond the usual suspects.

We’ll explore how to assess your site, lean on design principles, and think through four-season performance so that your tree supports the bigger picture of your garden for years to come.

If you’re feeling unsure about where to begin, this episode will give you a solid starting place.

What You'll Learn

Why fall is a great time to purchase and plant trees
How to evaluate site conditions like sun, soil, and space before making a selection
Common tree-picking mistakes and how to avoid them
Why we keep seeing the same trees everywhere and how to choose something better
Using line, repetition, and texture to support your garden's design
How to borrow from the larger landscape to create a sense of place
Questions to ask about what you want your tree to do and how the right tree can simplify your maintenance load

Trees and plants mentioned:

Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia)
Persian Ironwood (Parrotia persica)
Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas)
Japanese Umbrella Pine (Sciadopitys verticillata)

4: Garden Maintenance Without the Overwhelm: Simple shifts to reduce work and make space for joy

Épisode 5

lundi 27 octobre 2025 • Durée 25:32

If you’ve ever found yourself dreading garden maintenance or wondering why it’s starting to feel like a burden, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when we shift the way we think about maintenance and why it doesn’t have to feel like a never-ending to-do list.

Instead of aiming for perfection or pretending you’ll suddenly have hours every weekend, I want to help you build a garden that works with your life as it is now. We’ll talk about setting a maintenance budget, how to limit high-maintenance plants, and why focusing your energy in just a few high-impact areas can free you up to enjoy the rest. With a few smart swaps and honest expectations, you really can reduce the overwhelm and still love what you see outside your window.

In this episode, I cover:

How to shift your mindset around garden maintenance so it feels less like a chore
What a maintenance budget really means and how to plan your garden around the time you actually have
Smart plant choices and placement strategies that help reduce ongoing upkeep
How to prioritize high-impact or high-traffic areas for the most impactful use of your time
The role of editing in garden design and why removing what’s not working creates more ease
Why only 10 percent of your plants should be high-maintenance divas, and smart swaps to hold a space with less work

9: The Curator's Mindset: How Design Parameters Shape Every Garden I Design

Épisode 10

mardi 2 décembre 2025 • Durée 17:28

Mature gardens become collections over time. Pots, plants, benches, impulse buys, inherited pieces, and at some point, that collection either feels magical or it just feels muddled. In this episode, I walk through how I use design parameters to guide every garden I design, why limitations actually make gardens better, and how they can reduce decision fatigue.

In this episode, I cover:

How strong design parameters help you move between gardens, make faster decisions, and avoid creative fatigue
Why mature gardens can often feel muddled instead of magical, and how design parameters fix that
The difference between a collector's mindset and a curator's mindset when building a garden
What immersive experiences like Meow Wolf and Disneyland can teach us about garden design, storytelling, and creating intentional spaces
Real examples from my award-winning Northwest Flower and Garden Show gardens, and how completely different parameters created two totally distinct spaces
Why limitations, when developed ahead of time, contribute to stronger and more well-defined gardens

8: No Bad Weather: The Gardening Tools and Gear That Keep Us Comfortable all Winter

Épisode 9

mardi 25 novembre 2025 • Durée 24:29

Winter gardening doesn’t have to be miserable—or overwhelming. In this episode, Stevie and I share what gear we rely on to help maintain our clients’ gardens year-round.

We will share how creating an essential gear kit doesn't have to take up your entire house, and what gear makes cold-weather gardening not just doable, but genuinely enjoyable.

We dig into the stuff we actually use, the habits that make winter gardening feel less like a chore, and how a little fresh air can go a long way in keeping your spring garden (and your mood) in better shape.

In this episode, we cover:

The benefits of just one day in the garden each week for both your garden and you.
Why gardening in a light mist might be our actual favorite time of the year to garden.
The mental and physical benefits of getting outside, even when it's cold and grey.
The specific clothing and tools that make outdoor work bearable (and yes, comfortable)
The one item Stevie keeps giving, and why it's a total game-changer
Why you don’t need to own everything, and why we love the idea of borrowing and sharing tools with your community.
Small-space-friendly tools that earn their keep in our kit
Why more gear isn’t better, and can actually reduce your efficiency and lead to overwhelm.

7: Preserving a Season: Medlars, Quince, and the Joy of Uncommon Fruits with Maggie Rutherford

Épisode 8

mardi 18 novembre 2025 • Durée 29:48

In this episode, I’m joined by horticulturist Maggie Rutherford, someone who shares my obsession with the weird, wonderful world of uncommon edible plants. We talk about blending ornamental and edible plants in the garden, the joy of preserving to capture each individual season, and how small-batch preserving can be a source of creativity and delight.

Maggie shares why she can't stop talking about her Quince tree, and we dive into the weird and wonderful world of Medlars.

In this episode, we discuss:

How moving into a blank-slate yard sparked Maggie’s love of growing and eventually led her to return to school to study horticulture

6: Fall Plant Propagation: Dividing Perennials to Expand Your Garden

Épisode 7

lundi 10 novembre 2025 • Durée 24:27

This week, Stevie and I are talking about one of my all-time favorite low-effort, high-reward garden moves: dividing and transplanting perennials in the fall. Whether you're trying to fill out a new bed, edit what’s not working, or just want more of that one plant that always thrives—this episode is all about using what you already have to grow the garden you want.

If you’ve ever wondered when to divide, how to do it, or why it’s worth the effort, you’re in the right place.

In this episode, I cover:

Why fall is an ideal time to divide most perennials
Simple cues to know when a plant is ready to be divided
