I hope I'm not posting something that's already been done, but I didn't get a hit when I did a search... looks like a valuable addition to any gardener's library...

The Prairie Winterscape: Creative Gardening for the Forgotten Season

by Barbara Kam & Nora Bryan

From amazon.com's product description:

"In The Prairie Winterscape: Creative Gardening for the Forgotten Season experienced gardeners Barbara Kam and Nora Bryan show how to claim winter as a gardening season by exploring the different and surprising ways to create natural beauty during the "no-grow" time of year. Many prairie gardeners are unaware that their gardens can be winter wonderlands with as much visual appeal as the glorious summer landscapes they are accustomed to."

It ain't over 'til it's over,

Sounds interesting. I already own several "Garden in Winter" books so I probably should hold off purchasing any more at this time. The photographs in my books are just gorgeous making me realize that the winter landscape is so overlooked with most landscapers and authors.
