This is a practical and inspirational guide to creating a garden that looks and feels good throughout the year, even when the frost bites and plants are enveloped in a mantle of snow. The great plantswoman Rosemary Verey shows how to use space, the patterns created by paths and walls, the shapes of shrubs, the shadows of evergreens and the silhouettes of trunks and twisted branches to make elegant pictures for the months when the garden is stripped of summer foliage and billowing flowers. She also introduces us to a world of brilliant winter colours - the delicate pinks and greens of hellebores, the rich crimson of holly and cotoneaster berries and the bright yellow of aconites and crocus.
The Garden in Winter Reviews

I first read this book via a used books store and was so pleased to notice last year that it had been reissued after being out of print for a while. For me, this is the winter-garden standard to which all other books about wintertime in the temperate garden are measured. And the pictures are gorgeous, too.

Good book of photography of landscape gardens in winter in the UK where they do winter in a big way.
