The habitat value of plants in the winter garden

The habitat value of plants in the winter garden

We spend a lot of time planting for flowers and considering habitat value during the growing season. However, we do not always consider how our management activities and plant choices affect habitat availability during the “off season”. This poster outlines some considerations for the planting designer or home owner to support ecology through all 4 seasons.
