Winter is for garden dreaming! Do you dream of a garden full to overflowing with lush plantings? A garden that provides a succession of colors, forms, and textures throughout the year? (Yes, flowers in February!) A garden that provides habitat for wildlife and requires less maintenance? You are dreaming of a layered garden.
Join us for inspiration and tips on how to create a layered garden with beautiful, time-tested plant combinations. You will also come away with creative ideas for using hardscaped elements, art and ornaments, and enclosed spaces to tie your garden together.
