5 Awesome Shrubs for Winter Interest Garden Answer JennScarlett: Five zone five plants for all seasons. If I were to plant just five plants on my property what would they be for something blooming all year long? Also I have a full acre property of sandy loam, we're currently removing the old locust and elm trees and trying to decide what to replace them with in 2018. I have bees and several wildlife habitats on the property, the trees were mostly taken out by a rough winter and severe windstorm, would love something that looked nice and leant itself neatly to the birds and butterflies. Thanks!

Love this and all the shrubs you shared! As for your question, I would love to see what you recommend for specimen trees, but that also goes to a bit warmer zone, maybe 8-9. I was so excited about the dogwood and blue holly, until I saw that they only go to zone 7 and I live in 8b. Maybe I can find something similar in place of those. I've wanted a red-twig dogwood forever, but even more so after seeing how you used those twigs in planters and arrangements! You're so talented, Laura!

I'm really concerned about how my garden is going to look in the winter. I have kind of a cottage garden look. Hollyhocks, Annabelle hydrangeas, lavender, autumn joy sedum, purple cone flower. I'm having the hardest time finding some type of evergreen shrub to pop in around it to hold interest in the winter. Unfortunately right now, once everything dies back, its just going to look like a bunch of sticks and a birdbath full of sempervivums Your videos have been so helpful though!

All of your videos are awesome and truly inspirational. I love gardening but I have a lot to learn. I have learned so much from you and because of your videos all of my pots and baskets looked amazing all summer this year. Still looks good but I know I need to start switching it out for fall. You truly have a gift for inspiring and I just wanted to say thank you. BM

Can you please tell me what shrubs are good for shaded areas? I would like to plant some shrubs along the side of my garage, but I have more shade than sun in that area. I'm not good about knowing what zone I'm in, but I'm in the Washington D. C border line with Maryland. Please let me know so that I can get ready for Spring. Thank you.

Love, love, LOVE your videos! The Berry Poppins Winterberry made me curious - are the berries a food supply for birds/wildlife? I live on the east coast of PA, (we're in the 6-6a range) and I am interested in adding native plants as well as plants that produce food sources for the birds/wildlife.

I have a woodland garden I started in the woods beside my house Im zone 7B and I have lots of ferns and hostas and lilies of the valley but I dont know what all I can do in the Woodlands shade garden to get four sessions Im more interested in learning about the fall and winter in the shady area

I'm in zone 5 also in Northern Colorado. How does elevation effect plants, specifically regarding full sun? I tend to burn everything that I plant in full sun even when the plant is specific for full sun. I burn my vegetables, flowers, everything. Are they just cooking being at 5, 000 feet?

Great idea for a series! Border plants that stay green or at least do not die in the winter. I have several of the dwarf Nandina bushes and they are great with different colors all season. Maybe even ground covers too. Thanks.
Any video you do will be great and I will watch all of them.
