PLANTS FOR WINTER COLOUR & INTEREST - FRUITS & BERRIES : fill your garden with months of colour

Welcome to Adam’s Garden Guides.
Please subscribe to my channel if you enjoy this video and would like more.
One of my aims is to create a garden with year-round colour and interest, so as days start getting shorter and cooler during autumn I focus on developing displays that will provide colour through the coming months … both in my borders and patio pots and baskets.
In this video I’ll introduce you to a range of my favourite plants for winter colour and especially those carrying fruits and berries, and finish by showing you how to plant a hanging basket with a colourful combination that will look god right through to spring.

Thank you Adam for a great blog. It is so easy to forget how berries can brighten up the most dark days of winter. And great food for our native birds in these cold days . Loved your ideas and photos for pyracantha.

[@Adams-Gardening-Guides]

Delighted you enjoyed the video. Yes isn't pyracantha a wonderful berrying shrub ... and perfect homegrown bird food too!

[@Adams-Gardening-Guides]

Glad you like them! Thanks for your feedback. Always good to hear when my videos are appreciated. Winter doesn’t have to be dull!

I love the wide range of berries. They are beautiful. Do birds eat all those ornamental berries? I am from a tropical region and I don't think these varieties will grow where I live, but learning about these winter plants is worthwhile. Thank you.

[@Adams-Gardening-Guides]

Yes they do. For gardeners like me who try and attract birds and wildlife into our gardens these plants are well worth growing, and they look beautiful too.
