Highlands NC Homes, Gardens Can Offer Color in Winter
Meadows Mountain Realty, Highlands NC real estate
Gardens can offer color in winter for Highlands NC homes. Our lovely mountain community is known for its beauty and many homes accentuate the natural beauty of the area with stunning gardens. Winter can often feel drab and gray but there can be some color for those formulating a landscape plan that includes winter in it.
Selecting the right plants and shrubs
Planning can make a garden pop at any time of year. From natural flora and fauna to flowers, shrubs, bushes, and trees, the yards around a Highlands NC home can be alive and vibrant at any time of year. In winter, bushes that may have taken a back seat during summer can make a garden stand out. Evergreens are one choice that adds rich shades of green against the snow. Additionally, trees and shrubs that have berries offer a pop of color, not to mention serving food to the birds. Holly is one bush that is a quintessential winter favorite with its classic red berries.
Take a look at your planters
Planters that adorn a porch or walkway in the summer can become a winter draw for a Highlands NC property. Filling them with boughs of evergreen and sprigs of pussy willows and benches of berries can accent a home and liven it up. Winter does not need to be drab and dull, coming with its own set of attractive plantings that create a festive flair.
