How do I create a year-round garden?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Layer plants for continuous interest: evergreens for winter structure, spring bulbs for early color, summer perennials for peak bloom, fall foliage plants for autumn drama, and ornamental grasses and berries for winter texture. Include plants with interesting bark like red twig dogwood or river birch. Add hardscaping elements like paths, benches, and garden art that look good in every season.
Why It Matters
A year-round garden gives you something beautiful to look at every time you step outside, making your property enjoyable in every season.
