Winterland: Create a Beautiful Garden for Every Season

"If you have any garden at all, you will want to get this book. And if you have a view of a neighbor's garden, you need to give them this book. (After you read it first)." - The Washington Gardener,


"In Winterland, Maine gardener Cathy Rees argues that if your garden shines in the snowy season, imagine how great it will look in spring, summer and fall.
- Maine Sunday Telegram,


"Here is an entire book devoted to designing a garden that will be pleasing to enjoy in winter despite the limitations....Rees, a gardener and horticulturist in Maine (where winter can last seven months), uses the expertise she's accumulated to highlight the seemingly small choices that can have a big impact during the fallow months between growing seasons. Where most gardening books that refer to winter focus on those warmer climates, this is a rare treat that concentrates on enjoying the garden even at a time when it must be done from indoors."
- ALA Booklist,


"Maine landscape designer Cathy Rees shares inspirational photographs and sound approaches for developing an attractive, functional, year-round garden....Winterland proposes a new way of thinking for gardeners in all climates, designed around the seasons. It shows that the enjoyment of natural spaces can continue even in dormant times."
