Why put all of our gardening effort into the magnificent but short months of summer? Cathy Rees’ new book Winterland examines how the dramatic stillness of a winter garden provides abundant opportunities to deepen our connection with nature. The book features stunning images by Maine nature photographer Lisa Looke. An accomplished landscape designer, Rees provides practical design strategies to create garden sanctuaries for any season.

Cathy Rees is a cofounder of Native Gardens of Blue Hill in Maine and has been gardening and consulting on the native landscapes of coastal Maine for more than twenty-five years.
