The first flowers of Witch Hazel, Hellebore and Sweet Box are blooming!

It  is a good time to take inventory of your winter garden and see what adjustment need be made.  The New Year is also a great time to tackle projects that seem to be on the list year after year.

So, here are some things to consider before winter is through.

• SCREENING and privacy.  Do you have enough when deciduous trees loose their leaves?
• CIRCULATION.  Are pathways in the best location?  Is it easy to walk the whole garden and keep your feet dry?
• STRUCTURE.  Are garden focal points positioned for views from inside the house too?
• COLOR: Do perennial borders need something additional for winter interest?
