The garden can be a magical place in winter. Stripped of summer foliage and flowers, the success of a winter garden lies in its structure, basic design and choice of plant material. This Tower Hill Botanic Garden lecture on Saturday, February 1 from 1 – 2:30 provides inspiration and tips on designing your garden for winter interest, choosing the best trees, shrubs and perennials, and grouping them to create arresting vignettes. Following the lecture, join the presenters Jana Milbocker and Joan Butler of Enchanted Gardens for a walk at Tower Hill to view some of the plants and plant combinations mentioned in the lecture. $15 for THBG members, $25 for nonmembers.
