Honestly, summer is pretty short up here in the north, but the gardening year doesn't have to end when fall comes. The garden must be beautiful all year round. Every season has its beauty even in the garden. Beautiful winter silhouettes of gnarled trees, frosty blades of grass and evergreens such as bamboo, continue to lure the family out even in winter. The garden furniture must be robust and able to be left outside all year round. Lighting and fire increase the coziness factor and with the right plant selection you can even have a garden that blooms all year round, right up to the Stockholm area!
