A Winter Landscape
Our Garden in Winter
I live in Canada. Southern Ontario to be precise. We have long winters. I am a custom garden designer and a professional gardener. Long winters do not suit me. So, during those months when it is too cold to be in the garden, and nothing much is growing anyway, I get to take in the winter scenes as I bide my time ‘til spring.
My first photo is of our dear departed Maple tree that was in our front garden and was the reason we bought the house. Sadly it began to deteriorate over time and had to be cut down two years ago for safety reasons.
Some years ago I learned of the Sea Buckthorn Tree, shown in the photo above. It has many health benefits and is attractive to birds. I planted two in our front garden — a male and a female.
I like to divide my garden into different sections or rooms. This is a winding pathway between large shrubs that leads from the back patio to the back of our garden.
