That's it, winter is knocking on our door, we take out the gloves, the hats and the big stuffed boots from the closet to face the little wind that makes us shiver once we set foot outside. It is usually the time of year when the garden no longer looks like anything:the trees are stripped of their coats of leaves, the flowers have faded, the summer colors have lost their brilliance. But, there are alternatives to restore color to your garden:winter plants and winter gardens are the new trends.

For many, the flower buds hatch as soon as spring arrives, at the time of love, to die once autumn comes. And yet, there are a few kinds of plants that confirm the rule and resist very well all winter long. Therefore, favor cold-resistant plants in order to obtain a magical planter or window box:decorative foliage plants, evergreen shrubs and dwarf conifers.

Japanese, English or French style, it generally makes the transition between the garden and the house and can also welcome guests to drink tea, in an idyllic setting.
