Winter Interest
Winter is a season too! Give yourself and your neighbors something beautiful to look at while supporting overwintering wildlife. These native plants refuse to disappear when the snow falls—striking seed heads, persistent foliage, colorful bark, and bold architecture transform the winter garden from barren to beautiful while providing critical food for birds and shelter for native bees and beneficial insects hibernating in hollow stems.
