Garden Tree Winter Garden – Fine Gardening

Hi GPODs!

We can’t avoid it forever. No matter how hard we try to hold on to fall, winter is coming, and for many of us that means snow. Today’s photo is from Tingshu Hu and her husband Philip Zhao of Dunstable, Massachusetts. We’ve seen different sides of their spaces during the high season (the pavilion’s front garden in late summer, the pavilion’s back garden in the summer, a low-maintenance garden in Massachusetts, spaces created with Chinese design elements and British garden aesthetics, etc.), but today we’re here See, even when the garden is covered with a layer of snow, the tine tree still generates interest.

Four-season interest, especially in winter landscapes, is vital to New England home gardens since we have more than four months of winter covered in snow and ice. The contrast of colors and shapes against a backdrop of white snow still draws us outdoors in winter to explore the garden.

The snow came late this year. On December 5, 2024, we received our first snow. The centerpiece of the back garden is the Prairifire crabapple tree (Begonia × “Prairie Fire,” Zones 4-8). I took a few photos around the crabapple tree.

The crabapple trees are laden with red berries and attract many birds in the winter. Dwarf Colorado blue spruce on the right (spruce spruce “Glauca”, zones 2-8), The snow is lightly frosted. The pergola and garden fence can also be seen through the branches.

Various evergreen shrubs covered with snowLooking beneath the red crab apples, there are blue spruce, yew, azalea, bare dogwood branches and trees. Going further, there are several pine trees.

A magnolia tree, a Japanese maple tree (Chicken feet maple and CVS, zones 6-9) A few rhododendrons stand above the stone retaining wall. There is a yew tree at the bottom of the photo.

Frozen and snow-covered pond in the center of the gardenA view across the frozen fish pond provides a view into the heart of the rear garden. To the right are clumps of bamboo and red twig dogwood leaves (dogwoodareas 3-7).

Front garden with ornamental grass covered with snowCurb appeal for the front garden: a pergola, a fence and a combination of evergreens (azaleas, false cypress and arborvitae) and Eastern redbud trees (canadian redbud and cvs., zones 4-9) on the left. Outside the fence are a young Japanese maple and a golden cone juniper (juniper “Golden Cone”, zones 5-7) and dried maiden grass (Miscanthusareas 5-9).

Puppy in front of pergola and pondOur dog Luke is enjoying the sunshine after the snow. There was a small pond in front of Luke. There was a lotus in it. The flower head and stem were dry. On the left is a clump of bamboo. Chinese mother colors (chrysanthemum × Mulberry leavesregions 5–9) It can be seen through the glass of the greenhouse. The fish pond under the pergola is frozen. All the koi have been moved to the pond under the solar panels in the solarium.
