Within this comprehensive reference book lie the secrets to keeping your garden beautiful despite the elements, with design and planting concepts for prolonged wintry conditions.

Plantsman Warren Leach shares expertise and techniques perfected over thirty years of gardening in frigid eastern Massachusetts, including:
*Incorporating structural elements like stone walls, paths, and
hardy containers
