Planning, dreaming, doing: a look into 2026

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.
2025 was a busy year, both professionally and personally. With many exciting projects at home and abroad, setting up my nursery, becoming a mother for the first time, and waiting for a permit for our new house. At the same time, all the "little projects" at home continued as usual. My office is finally finished, we prepared the vegetable garden for its first real year of production, and we were able to fully enjoy the garden, the meadow, and the forest. It's remarkable to see how much life has sprung up in such a short time on this small piece of earth.
It feels like 2025 was primarily the year of sowing seeds, and 2026 the year the real fruits can be reaped. I'm really looking forward to this year, which has created space to experiment with new planting techniques, discover new plant varieties, and combine materials. Creativity will be central to the studio in 2026.
We're also starting construction on our house and, of course, the accompanying garden. These two are inextricably linked, and I'm very much looking forward to sharing my vision of bringing house and garden together from the ground up with you. It's a major life project for which I'm incredibly grateful.

CONTENT 2026
I'm convinced that variety in my workweek is essential. I write, photograph, grow, garden, design, and run my business at different times. This keeps my perspective on design constantly evolving, keeps me curious about new information, and allows me to adapt when necessary.
I'm also interested in you. What would you like to read or learn about this year? What can I do for you with my blogs? I'm currently working on the content calendar for 2026, so let me know: what's a must-see this year? Feel free to ask; I'm happy to help.
I hope that this year we can all make the world a little greener and more beautiful!
Love,
Linda

















I'd love to see some insight into your digital graphics/layout processes and how you encapsulate the emotional life of your design in the digital realm
