Another important thing about the fabulous winter garden is that it needs to scrub up nicely. In the summer, there’s no time for carefully orchestrated glamour, but when the wind throws the leaves off the trees and the flowers go south for the winter, you need to make the most of the beautiful bare bones of a garden.
If you’re lucky enough to have a silver birch in your garden, you need to flaunt it. Make the very most of that brilliant white bark and give your birch a makeover. Fill a bowl with warm, soapy water, take a scrubbing brush with you, and rub away all the dirt and the algae until the trunk shine.
Have you ever seen a silver birch glowing in the moonlight? It’s a showstopper. Get scrubbing now.
And if you’re looking for more inspiration to make your winter garden as stylish as possible, look at our feature on the amazing winter garden at Anglesey Abbey where the gardeners use jet washers to scrub up their birches.
