Now is a really good time to consider what plants and structural elements contribute to the winter landscape. Take advantage of pleasant milder days as they occur by taking a rejuvenating walk. If there is an Arboretum or Public Garden nearby, why not pay a visit to see what winter interest is on display. Even a quiet walk through the woods will provide lessons on natural design. When you make your new plant lists, you will be more apt to select plants with winter interest…those with exfoliating bark, colored branches, unique form, or evergreen color.
