Hayden Regina has always had an affinity for playing in the dirt, but he truly found his passion with a career in planting design. His horticultural experience started in the soil rather than the classroom, where he gained knowledge working side by side with mentors at Fernwood Botanical Garden in Michigan and managing the garden at Jayson Home, a boutique specializing in unique indoor/outdoor furnishings. Those pursuits ultimately led him to landscape architecture. With roots in Chicago, Hayden received his bachelor’s degree in architecture from Illinois Institute of Technology. When he’s not fully immersed in plants, you can find him antiquing for furniture, channeling his inner Martha Stewart, or appreciating Chicago’s amazing structural designs.
