Winter may look drab outside, but the native garden in particular has loads of colour. Itâs important to have a range of plants that flower at various times of the year as a food source for bees and birds and as an attractant to other important predatory insects. All parts of the garden can have winter colour: the veggie patch, the native garden, the ornamental garden and, of course, trees. Nurseries offer a large variety of plants to suit both small and large gardens.
