Making the Most of Winter

with Georgina Tarrant

This presentation will explore both the aesthetic and ecological benefits of adding winter interest to your garden. Whether you are interested in creating a dedicated winter garden, want to add colour to your winter landscape or support wildlife in your garden, this talk is for you! From trees to groundcovers, Georgina will highlight plants that add colour, texture and structure to the winter garden, and discuss their characteristics. Her presentation will include plants native to our region, and she will highlight species that provide food and shelter for winter wildlife.

​

Georgina is the current Landscape Designer at Bloom Greenhouse and Garden Centre. Australian by birth, she has called Nova Scotia home for 25 years. She studied Plant Science at the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus, is passionate about plants of all shapes and sizes, and loves to experiment in her own gardens. Her special interests include shade gardening, native plants, insect-friendly landscapes, and deer-resistant plants. She believes every garden has a unique character, and strives to unlock potential during her design work for Bloom. When not designing and gardening, Georgina loves to explore wild and managed landscapes locally and while travelling. During the winter she can frequently be found curling, starting seeds, or buried under a pile of gardening books. ​
