Winter is an excellent time to dream of gardens. The long evenings are excellent for paging through seed catalogs and gardening books, and for taking time to appreciate plants like rosemary that make our lives fragrant and delicious all year round. I really know what matters to me when I keep track of what I'm missing in the winter, and I really know what keeps me afloat in dark times when I find myself awe-struck on even the dullest days. The former list includes fresh snap peas, fragrant sweet peas, an array of herbs and bright meadowy flowers. The latter includes orange witch hazel blossoms, exquisite cyclamen foliage, boldly structured deciduous trees, and mats of interestingly shaped leaves snugly covering the ground. What elements of the natural world keep you getting out of bed? Would you like to bring them closer to home, perhaps even into your garden?
Even if you're not planning to fully re-design your garden, I'd invite you to take some time to vision what you're longing for. Here are the questions I use to guide my design process. I hope that they provide you an intriguing window into possibilities for your garden and beyond!
