If you think winter gardens aren’t very interesting, think again. The fact is we can choose trees and shrubs with color and texture, creating engaging views from our windows. When we planned our Greenfield garden, I was thinking about plants that.
Plant a firethorn bush in your backyard to welcome birds and bees while providing year-round beauty. This shrub features colorful fruit and pretty flowers.
