The Unsung Season

Gardens & Gardeners in Winter

Nature in winter has always enchanted me with its unexpected poetic sights. No matter how gloomy the day, it always seemed that, if I had the gumption to bundle up and go for a walk, I’d come upon something unexpected and beautiful. But I couldn’t say the same about my gardens. So I decided to plant winter beauty close by, where I would enjoy it no matter what the weather. Planting for winter interest became a delightful challenge, one that banished cabin fever forever and makes me love gardens year-round.

 

The Unsung Season is unfortunately out of print, but my passion for winter gardens lives on and my slide lecture The Unsung Season: Gardens in Winter inspires audiences with a new appreciation of the cold, unsung season with new ideas and images every year.
