Within this comprehensive reference book lie the secrets to keeping your garden beautiful despite the elements, with design and planting concepts for prolonged wintry conditions.

Though many plants go dormant in wintry months, there are many inspiring cultivars and varieties that hold their interest through the cold and snow, including brightly colored twigs, buds, and berries, dazzling winter flowers and dried seed pods. Plantsman Warren Leach shares expertise and techniques perfected over thirty years of gardening in frigid eastern Massachusetts, including: 

   ·Incorporating structural elements like stone walls, paths, and hardy containers
   ·Accentuating plant shapes which hold their form year-round
   ·Siting and pruning evergreens for maximum effect
   ·Showcasing trees with textured or colorful bark
   ·And so much more!

Plants for the Winter Garden extends the possibilities for the cold-climate gardener and provides invaluable insight that will make any garden thrive during the cold season.
