Up here in the Pacific Northwest, and in the IslandWood garden, we love our seasons! The changes they bring alter the types of food crops we harvest, our water supply, the appearance of the garden, plant productivity, and they also influence the dormancy of our garden plants and flowers. Even the bees take a break from the cold, wet environment and hunker down in their hives!

People also change their appearance during the different seasons. Think of what you would wear if it were snowing, raining, or was a bright sunshiny day? So what does the garden look like now? What food is available to eat in different seasons? Check back here to see the changing faces of our garden!
