Even if you don’t want to make wreaths, Evergreens add a nice touch of green to the  landscape, and stand out against the dull brown or all-white backdrop of winter.

When spring rolls around and all outdoors is bursting with color, it will be easy to forget to plant Evergreens for winter appeal. So take a look at your landscape now. Determine where the addition of Evergreen plants and trees is needed most. Add where to what’s on your spring planting list so you won’t forget!
