Plants, Plan Your Garden

Never think that a garden in winter must look dull!  There are plenty of plants around which flower during the winter months and the berries of plants can also make your garden look vibrant, even in the depths of winter. Here’s a photo gallery of plants that will give a good display of colour in winter and/or early spring. So if you’re looking for something to brighten up your garden, look no further. The photo captions will give you the plant names, and we’ve linked these through to the RHS website for detailed plant info. We hope you see something you like – and enjoy planting!
