To create a garden that gives pleasure throughout the year is the
goal of every garden-maker. The greatest designers maintain that it
is the garden in winter that sets the scene for the remainder of
the year. Designing and Creating a Winter Garden takes the reader
through the process of designing a new garden from scratch or
re-working an existing garden, with winter as the key, formative
season. The first part of the book deals with design considerations
and ideas, including: assessing the site and its opportunities and
constraints; designing the basic framework for winter; making use
of low, winter light and using sparkling colour; pots, containers
and statuary in the garden, and finally the maintenance of the
garden in winter. The second part comprises a detailed catalogue of
suggested plants and their uses, grouped into: evergreens;
winter-flowering trees, shrubs and perennials, including those that
are strongly scented; shrubs with coloured and textured bark and
finally, unusual, striking plants to use as focal points. This book
sets out to inspire both garden designers and enthusiastic
gardeners to create a garden that is as captivating in winter as it
is during the remainder of the year.
