GARDENS
provide four-season interest, including
winter which is all about the structure
of the plants. That can include the bark
and branch patterning of deciduous
trees, forms of evergreen plants, dor-
mant/dried ornamental grasses and
seed heads of perennials, and plants
with berries for winter interest and
food source for birds, such as the red
berries of the crabapple trees in front.”
The winning combination provides
an evolving year-round refuge and
achieves the elusive freedom of an
open space along with areas to nestle
in seclusion. n
