Cottage Garden Winter Photograph:
Covered in Snow
The front garden of our cottage blanketed by snow on a gloomy winter's day. Winter and snow really show the importance of structure in designing any garden - just look at all the plant details in the photo.
Picture Description
Though there are no plants in bloom visible in this picture - everything is covered in snow, we've included it as reveals the effects you can create with structure and height differences in your garden design.
- Cottage garden features: hidden arbor covered in honeysuckle, part of the frozen pond and hillside, background - shrubs and trees across the street forming a unified whole.
- Cottage gardening plants silhouetted by the snow:
- Foreground - Kilmarnock willow - or Dwarf weeping willow - (Salix caprea 'Kilmarnock', syn. Salix caprea 'Pendula'.
- Background - honeysuckle on the arbor to the left and a wide range of shrubs with branches in brick-red and brown on the pond hillside.
- Sorry about the awful light pole to the right of the middle of the picture - it used to be well-hidden before the local authority removed the oak trees on our side of the road.
