Winter Interest: Designing a Landscape That Shines Year-Round

It’s January. The twinkle lights are packed away, and your yard feels... uninspired. But what if winter didn’t mean dull and dormant? What if your landscape could be just as captivating in the cold as it is in spring?

In this inspiring lecture, discover how to transform your winter garden from bleak to beautiful. Learn how to plan ahead—starting now—for a landscape that offers texture, color, and charm even in the quietest months. We’ll explore a palette of winter-interest plants that dazzle with bark, berries, evergreen foliage, and unexpected blooms.

By weaving these winter gems into your spring, summer, and fall planting plans, you’ll create a garden with true four-season appeal.

Don’t let winter be an afterthought—make it a highlight of your gardening year!
