In this special "summer-sode," we're joined by Dr. Wayne Hobbs, Environmental Horticulture Agent with UF/IFAS Extension Clay County, to explore the whimsical world of escapism through landscape design. From turning his backyard into a tiki-themed retreat to mixing Florida-friendly mocktails with homegrown ingredients, Wayne shares how landscapes can transport us—emotionally, sensorially, and even spiritually. Tune in as we talk about creating immersive garden experiences, edible plants for your kitchen recipes, and how a lobster trap started Wayne's hobby. Whether you're a home gardener, designer, or just dreaming of your backyard escape, this episode offers inspiration to grow with intention and a little imagination.
