Winter Interest - An Important SeasonG27DBy Down 2 Earth

We are lucky to live in a country with 4 seasons. In most parts of our beautiful country, Winter is the longest season but often over looked by homeowners when they think of landscaping. This down to earth casual front doorstep garden demonstrates how to manage grade changes smoothly to maximize space. It also proves that a small front yard can have it all:  Small sitting area, privacy screen, low maintenance gardens in raised planter boxes instead of high maintenance lawn and of course Winter Interest.
