Gardeners in our region have plenty of reasons to get cold feet about winter: Plants are at rest and their colors dissipate, leaving a palette of white, gray and brown. In this dormant period, you may think there are few winter landscaping fixes you can do. In fact, careful planning in spring, summer and fall plus easy winter accents, can lead to a beautiful landscape that stands out in a stark winter season. Look for some of these things for winter interest. 1. Focus on bark. 2. Remember Evergreens. 3. Include berries. 4. Enhance your hardscape. 5. Adorn your summertime containers. And 6. Utilize four-season perennials. Now is the best time to start dreaming and planning for your landscape improvements. You will be ahead of the game and one of the first to make a design contact when the weather starts to warm.
