The dramatic stillness of the garden in winter provides its own opportunities to deepen our connection with nature. Here, accomplished landscape designer Cathy Rees guides readers through the basics of creating rich and compelling all-season environments, exploring shape, scale, texture, layering, contrast, plant choices, lighting, structures and sculptures, and more. Design strategies are reinforced by practical advice pruning, maintenance and coexisting with animals and birds. The book gives beginners and experts alike the tools to develop outdoor havens that will evolve over seasons and years to become true sanctuaries. A practical, accessible and lushly photographed guide to making your garden a place of beauty and inspiration during the winter months as well as throughout the year. Hardcover, 192 pages, 2021.
