EYEGARDEN 2026, Part 12: KEEP GROWING
Throughout 2026, we’ve once again shared some of the many lessons we've learned from Master Gardener Virginia Leichty—the mother-in-law of our company founder, Ben Stutzman—who grows the immaculate flower and produce garden outside our Downtown Goshen headquarters each season.
We’ve been inspired by Virginia and her husband (and Chief Gardening Assistant) Phil, as they've worked together to bring the Eyegarden to life once again this year. In our posts we've talked about 'planning the work, and working the plan.' Planting with purpose. Giving ideas room to grow. Weathering challenges. The importance of details. Observing and adapting. And trusting that good things often take time.
But maybe the best lesson from this year's Eyegarden series is the simplest:
You’re never really done growing.
A garden changes every day. What blooms makes room for what comes next, and lessons from one season become inspiration for another. Even as this year's Eyegarden begins winding down, Virginia is already learning from it—and imagining what might take root next.
We think creative work happens much the same way. Every idea, every project, and every season teaches us something we can carry forward.
So as we close the book on Eyegarden 2026, thank you for following along, learning with us, and watching it grow. The garden may be winding down, but around here, fresh ideas are always taking root. 🌱
