a community-building journal of places, people, and projects that embody the Hortulus spirit + are making the world a better place

"Hortulus," Latin for "little garden," reflects our belief that life is about cultivating our own gardens.

While our physical Hortulus Destination Farm, a garden, farm, and nursery, has changed hands, the Hortulus Foundation continues to nurture a flourishing network where beauty, creativity, and nature intersect.

In addition to the Hortulus Foundation’s philanthropic work, we’re now cultivating a "new" garden, inspired by the same spirit that made the farm so loved. Through this online journal, we aim to create a positive, community-driven space that celebrates the people, stories, and ideas that are making the world better—one little garden at a time.

Our goal? To inspire the incredible community brought together at Hortulus Farm to bring the farm’s cherished ethos into their own homes and lives, one story at a time.

Welcome to your new online escape.
