Build a Winter Container Garden with Carmen DeVito

As the weather turns cold, Carmen heads out to her garden to show you how to prep your garden for winter. She cuts back plants and puts down a shredded hardwood mulch to ensure weed-free, fertile soil come spring.

Then, she builds a container garden, or window box, to enjoy some texture and color during the long winter. (Hot tip: Adding insulation and landscape fabric for drainage to your planting box ensures your plants stay healthy in the coldest months!) Carmen shows her selection of winter-hardy plants and how to arrange them artistically for maximum enjoyment.

Next week, for Carmen’s final video of the year, she’ll show you how to bring the garden indoors!
