WHEN PLANNING A PLANTING SCHEME FOR YOUR GARDEN, THE NATURAL INCLINATION IS TO PLAN FOR SPRING, SUMMER AND AUTUMN, BUT WINTER INTEREST IS SO IMPORTANT, AFTER ALL WE WILL BE LOOKING OUT ONTO THE GARDEN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS OF THE YEAR.
The winter garden is not all about blooms, although you will be surprised by how many plants, shrubs, trees and wall climbers produce flower during these months, it’s more about the importance of texture, shape and colour of leaf or stem.
Not only can we create seasonal interest in the garden at this time of year but you can provide your home with your very own floristry supply. With berry, leaf and stem you can make some wonderful arrangements for around the house and with Christmas on its way, creating garlands and swags is easy with the right ingredients.

Snow Fun
Head outdoors with the kids for some fun in the snow this winter. Building a snowman in the garden, a full-on snowball fight or sledging down the nearest hill can provide hours of fun. If you’d rather stay on piste, then head for either Glenshee or the Lecht, assuming the roads are open.
