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. 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.

Plantsman Warren Leach shares expertise and techniques perfected over thirty years of gardening in frigid eastern Massachusetts. Discover how to incorporate structural elements like stone walls, paths, and hardy containers that keep gardens intriguing when covered with snow; accentuate plant shapes that hold their form year-round; site and prune evergreens for maximum effect; and showcase trees with textured or colorful bark that stand out in gray months. And much more!
