East Birch Grove
Heaatherwood Winter
This morning was cold and dreary. All I had to do to lift my spirits was to look out the window and enjoy the winter colors of the green Slow Mound mugo pines, the blue Christina spruce, and the yellow and red ice plants surrounding the white birch grove. Heatherwood is a full of interest through all four seasons.

Heatherwood Winter
Yesterday was a cloudy and warm winter day (mid 40’s). I grabbed my camera and strolled around the garden for about three hours. I focused on creating an overall picture of the color, textures, and forms of Heatherwood’s winter display. The garden’s beauty was astounding. I could have spent several more hours just wandering around, but other chores brought me in.

Heatherwood Winter
Heatherwood provides a little winter oasis to the drab Eastern Washington landscape in early February. Even in the middle of winter, color and interest abounds in our garden. Our unseasonable warm weather entices me to get out and stroll through the winter garden. At the same time the East coast is encountering extreme cold temperatures and heavy snow. How lucky we are!
