Landscape Brighteners In lieu of summer's blazing color, many gardeners brace themselves for a winter of gray and brown, if not flat-out white. No matter if your winter is just a little chilly or bone-freezing cold, try these tips to brighten your landscape:
- Install trees and shrubs that have beautiful exfoliating bark, vibrant berries, or bright evergreen foliage.
- Install winter annuals or evergreens in containers near doors or windows, so you can enjoy them from indoors.
