Winter: best seen from inside
Article Abstract:
Gardeners who are reluctant to venture out in the worst of the winter weather should consider creating a winter garden which can be seen and admired from inside the house and needs little attention. An appropriate area of ground near a window should be selected, and various types of shrubs and winter-flowering plants can be planted until the desired effect is achieved. Scented plants would be particularly attractive.
