Houzz Call: Show Us Your Winter View!
Share pictures of your home and garden in winter — whatever your climate, architecture and plantings
By the time fall’s golden foliage fades, anticipation for spring’s sprouts begins to grow. But winter displays its own drama, and not just through pines, cedars and other regal conifers. Ornamental seed heads showcase their intricate makeup, red berries pop against the muted sky, and stone walls and paths reveal the garden’s foundation. Winter is also an important season for wildlife, with birds, small mammals and beneficial insects relying on our gardens to survive.

Architectural plants, like the sea holly (Eryngium sp.) at left, display another layer of beauty in winter, when their intricate structure can be appreciated. Additionally, many plants provide valuable shelter and food for overwintering wildlife, so relax and wait until spring to cut them back.
