Last year, I used the final GPOD of the year to share my 2025 garden resolutions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/article\/happy-new-years-eve-gpod\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Happy New Year\u2019s Eve GPOD!<\/a>), which did help me keep those intentions in the front of mind (even if I\u2019m still working on getting into a good routine with houseplant maintenance). However, I had a different mindset this year. Rather than lament over all of the gardening practices I could be doing better, I\u2019m entering 2026 with one resolution in mind: spend more time embracing the joy of plants.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes gardening can become a pursuit of perfection. How do I ensure the biggest blooms or the most abundant harvests? How can I make this border even better? This plant is nice, but I bet I can find something even more beautiful! Suddenly, the restorative practice of gardening becomes a burden and we forget why we started digging in the first place\u2014for the love of plants. This post serves as a reminder to step back and enjoy the process. No matter what succeeds or what fails in the garden this year, remember to enjoy the journey and savor even the smallest moments of plant magic around us. Here are some of my most magical garden moments of 2025.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30125443\/GPOD-Hayes-1-Philly-Flower-Show.jpg\"><\/a>I was very lucky at the start of the year to attend the <a href=\"https:\/\/phsonline.org\/the-flower-show\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philadelphia Flower Show<\/a> for the first time. I had never attended a garden event of this magnitude before, and I left with tons of inspiration (as well as a few plants). A must have taken one hundred photos at the show, many of which I shared on the blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/article\/gpod-on-the-road-philadelphia-flower-show-entry-display\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GPOD on the Road: Philadelphia Flower Show Part 1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/article\/gpod-on-the-road-philadelphia-flower-show-part-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Part 2<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/article\/gpod-on-the-road-philadelphia-flower-show-part-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Part 3<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/article\/gpod-on-the-road-philadelphia-flower-shows-oddest-plants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Flower Show\u2019s Oddest Plants<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30125445\/GPOD-Hayes-2-cabbage-seedling.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-224635\" src=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30125445\/GPOD-Hayes-2-cabbage-seedling.jpg\" alt=\"cabbage seedlings in tray\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30125445\/GPOD-Hayes-2-cabbage-seedling.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30125445\/GPOD-Hayes-2-cabbage-seedling-700x840.jpg 700w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30125445\/GPOD-Hayes-2-cabbage-seedling-768x922.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><\/a>Late winter and early spring brought the usual excitement of new seedlings.

Escaping from a crack on the outside of one of my raised beds, this tiny tomato plant miraculously emerged. I didn\u2019t expect much from it, but left it to grow through the season rather than cutting it out. It gave me yet another surprise when it grew, thrived, and produced delicious fruit throughout the summer and into fall.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30125453\/GPOD-Hayes-6-Coastal-Maine-Botanic-Garden.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-224639 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30125453\/GPOD-Hayes-6-Coastal-Maine-Botanic-Garden.jpg\" alt=\"pond at Coastal Maine Botanic Garden\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30125453\/GPOD-Hayes-6-Coastal-Maine-Botanic-Garden.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30125453\/GPOD-Hayes-6-Coastal-Maine-Botanic-Garden-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30125453\/GPOD-Hayes-6-Coastal-Maine-Botanic-Garden-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/a>Back to my travels, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mainegardens.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coastal Maine Botanical Garden<\/a> has been on my bucket list for many years now and I finally managed to make the trip this summer.
