GARDENING: Adding winter interest to your garden

I’ve been thinking a lot about winter interest in the garden lately. It’s probably because December has not been kind to us so far, giving us lots of cold and snow. On these frigid days where nobody wants to be outside, I appreciate the winter interest in my gardens more than ever.

Incorporating winter interest into the garden is a way to continue to enjoy the gardens even after everything goes dormant and the landscape would otherwise be baron. Some people leave plants in the garden so that birds and animals have a source of food in the winter; others purposely add plants, colorful structures and hardscapes into the design of their landscaping with winter interest in mind.
