But once spring and summer is here I forget about making space for bones and fill it with more plants that die back in winter.

When you live in a northern country like Canada, you quickly realize that your garden will be snow covered for months at a time. I especially love your raised beds and your patio area! Like you, I have tried to incorporate garden structures and decorative plant supports that provide interest in the winter months.Jennifer@threedogsinagardenhttp://threedogsinagarden.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-80354494975362165842011-01-13T05:46:51.376-06:002011-01-13T05:46:51.376-06:00I never did either Jenny until I took a class at o...I never did either Jenny until I took a class at our local arboretum.
