A Winter’s Garden

The beauty of a winter garden. The majority of my yard is native plants, butterfly, bee, and hummingbird attractors and we are encouraged to leave everything as-is through the winter and spring for the wildlife to enjoy.  I have to say, besides being easier to take care of, it sure can be pretty.
