Winter

Winter brings a distinct set of changes that mark the coldest season of the year. In the garden it is a time for rest and dormancy with deciduous trees and shrubs leaving bare branches, frost and ice appearing , especially in the mornings, and possibly snow but there is still life!

Winter flowers bloom, wildlife activity, although slow can still be seen (with those less hardy taking refuge in hibernation or migration), and the pace is signaling a time of rest, renewal, and anticipation for the warmer months ahead.
