The winter garden is truly a low maintenance affair and a time to enjoy - no weeding, no watering and no deadheading! The winter landscape may be quiescent, but the garden need not be bleak. Plants with brightly colored berries, twigs, stems, foliage and even winter-blooming flowers shrug off the snow and cold.

Landscape horticulturist Warren Leach, author of the new book from Timber Press Plants for the Winter Garden, will showcase gardens he has designed that celebrate the winter season as well as planting design ideas for your own garden.

Warren Leach is a passionate plant collector, nurseryman, horticulturist and landscape designer with a depth of knowledge of all garden plants - both perennial and wood plants and tropical and temperate. Warren is also an admired speaker, writer and educator.

For more than thirty-five years, Warren has been creating beautiful landscapes throughout New England as well as making captivating and educational display gardens at Tranquil Lake Nursery in Rehoboth. He is co-owner of this specialty nursery that is a prominent grower of daylilies, iris and distinctive perennials and woody plants.
