March is a tricky month with cold, snow and ice interspersed with a warming sun and rain and mud. This is the month that even the shiest snow drops will emerge letting you know spring is really around the corner. If you have planted winter aconite in a sunny site they will soon be putting up their heads with lovely bright yellow flowers.

All Season Gardens

Gardens can be even more beautiful in the winter if you have snow. To make a garden interesting, don’t cut all of your dead plants and flowers down. Leave a few clumps to catch the snow and make small winter sculptures.
