GOOD FENCES - Mount Stewart Gardens - Bedded Down For Winter

Mount Stewart gardeners are very aware that hard winter could damage the plants so let me take you through these beautiful gates and show you are some of the ways they protect them. I am linking it to GOOD FENCES.

  6. Hello Margaret!
    Plants and shrubs should be protected from frost.
    They look beautiful in protective coats.
    Beautiful pictures, Margaret.

  7. The plant coverings make for a surreal scene in the gardens. Around here it is important to keep plants frozen in winter so they don't go through thaw-freeze cycles until they really do thaw in spring.

  8. Looks like a lot of work, but so worth it to save plants. It's still very green there!
