Now is a great time to plan for NEXT winter's garden. When the
blooms and the perennials have come and gone, what's left in your
garden? With many of the plants dormant, you can truly see the bones of
your landscape and assess your needs.
Is there a wall
of green -- several sets of medium-leafed glossy green shrubs that all
blend into one another? Does your garden lack definition?
Now
is the perfect time to think about what you can add to the garden this
spring that will give you depth and texture and form when you look out
of your window next winter. Below, you'll find some ideas and tips to help make your garden great to look at when next winter comes around.

I'm planning what I will add to my garden tonight. We're under and winter weather advisory and I have the fireplace on and I'm thinking about all the ideas I shared on the show today ... off I go to find pen and paper and a cup of hot tea. Happy planning...
You did a great job on the show today, very relaxed and comfortable. You and Jeff are media pros!
ReplyDeleteWell done and very informative.
ReplyDeletePam - Thanks, it was interesting to see the staff there talk about plants and their experiences. I'm amazed at how many people really don't know anything about them. Guess I live in a hort-bubble!
ReplyDeleteSteph - Thanks. It usually those design elements that people love to get more info about.
Good job! Glad folks like you who are good on TV or radio are out there; I cringed when recently asked to be on a local radio show...
ReplyDeleteGood ideas too!
dryheatblog - You could do radio in your pajamas - no one to see you! You'd be great at it - you should do it. Doesn't really bother me, a few nerves, of course, but I guess it's all my competitive debate and speech training in high school. I did it cuz it was fun - had no idea it would be useful in real life!
