Add Winter Interest to Your Garden With Barks and Berries

Banish the winter blues with plants that enliven gardens during the coldest, bleakest months of the year. Shrubs and small trees chosen for their colorful berries or unusual barks add bright accents and interesting textures to muted garden beds. While it’s best to wait until spring to plant in most cold-winter climates, take a look at these trees and shrubs while your garden is bare to get the best sense of where they can shine in your winter landscape.
