A winter garden has delicate qualities that should not be overlooked. While winter can be damp and dark, there is beauty in the afternoon sun blazing through the monochrome landscape as it turns the frosty seedheads to icy magic and silhouettes of perennials and shrubs. Wintertime requires a different point of view, a gentler pace and thoughtful planning for an exemplary winter garden. This course will provide you with a comprehensive look at how to design and maintain a beautiful and rewarding winter garden.
