Synopses & Reviews
Even in the depths of winter, with its icy frosts and snow, there is inspiration to be found in the garden. Bright berries are abundant, evergreen conifers come into their own, as do the glossy leaves of hollies and ivies. Flowers are few, but simple and effective displays with crisp, white anemones, long-lasting hellebores and snowdrops can liven up window boxes, tubs and patios. The finest bulbs, shrubs, climbers and trees of the season, providing winter interest and foliage color, are beautifully illustrated with full descriptions and information on their size and hardiness. Also illustrated are how the best plants of the season can be used in a range of subtle and dazzling ways to create interest in the winter garden, both as single plantings and as part of an overall scheme. This includes planting in beds and borders and also in a variety of containers, and features a range of garden styles and designs. A useful at-a-glance calendar of essential jobs that need to be tackled during the winter season to ensure the winter garden looks its best, and how to prepare for the coming seasons is covered. For a personal touch, there is also space to catalogue additional tasks particular to the readers garden.
