Winter is a time to reimagine the garden. Deciduous trees and shrubs are bare, winter pruning is done, and the spaces in the garden open up visually. Winter visions at the GFE also involve moving the garden step-by-step closer to its goal of demonstrating sustainable gardening principles. Where can we improve, and make our walk match our talk more closely? One winter renovation this year has been somewhat drastic. We removed the small lawn in the outdoor classroom area.
