There is beauty and wonder in a winter garden, from the pale warmth of late autumn to the cool blue hues of January. Topiary, pleaching, perennials and scented winter shrubs are plants or methods that look as majestic in snow as they do in sunlight. Designers featured include Arne Maynard, Dan Pearson, Arabella Lennox Boyd and Fergus Garrett.

The book covers 'winter' from early November when autumn is still present, through to April when snowdrops and early buds begin to appear, so the full effects of the season are explored. - The history, design and planting style of each garden is included with thoughtful planting advice about what to do with topiary, what seed heads look best in winter and what florals will bloom.Gardens by Piet Oudolf, Arne Maynard, Arabella Lennox-Boyd and Tom Stuart-Smith are amongthe 12 gardens featured.
