**Host:** That sounds fascinating! It’s like discovering a whole new world of beauty in the garden, even in the off-season.
**Alex Reed:** Exactly! It changes the way you see winter. Leach reminds us that even when the weather outside is frightful, there’s still plenty of beauty and wonder to be found in the garden. These books can help us plan for the upcoming year, dream up new garden designs, and simply deepen our connection to the natural world, even when we’re curled up indoors.
