A winter garden is a kind of garden maintained in wintertime. The modern winter garden is usually a garden planted either to produce food, or at least to remain visibly planted and slowly develop, throughout the winter, or else a garden whose plants will serve as living decoration all winter. One basic premise to the winter garden in temperate or colder regions is that the plants may become dormant when snow covers the ground, but will grow each time the sun heats at least part of the plant to above freezing temperature, even if there is snow. Winter gardens were not just restricted to private residence, many were built for the greater public. The first large public winter garden was built in 1842–46 in Regent's Park, and was used for evening occasions, large flower shows and social gatherings. Other winter gardens, such as the Crystal Palace by Sir Joseph Paxton in 1851, were soon built and used for a variety of purposes.

And for this purpose, the space of the winter garden can serve us. Today's modern concept of the winter garden makes it possible to use this space not only to grow flowers, but also as a place to relax, a study room, a children's playroom, a place to meet friends. In the business sector, winter gardens can be used as cafes, pastry shops or other establishments. When choosing a place for a winter garden, it is advisable to manage not only the orientation of the conservatory towards the world sides, but also the purpose of its use. If we want to spend time with our friends, it is more appropriate to follow the part of the house with the kitchen. If we want to have it as a relaxing or wellness part, it is advisable to be located in the quietest part of the house. Maybe at the bedroom.

Kew's new Winter Garden not only provides a wonderful range of plants year round, but unique views across the Gardens – take in the Temperate House and Pagoda during the winter months. The plants in the Winter Garden are ‘hardy’. They have evolved adaptations that allow them to flourish in winter conditions including frost, reduced sunlight, and fewer opportunities for pollination. A number of Euonymus trees frame the entrance to the garden, joined by hellebores, snowdrops and eranthis, all of which have been lifted and replanted here from elsewhere in the Arboretum. A winding gravel trail takes visitors through plantings of hardy winter specimens, to a vista at the base of an old concrete footing that once supported a 300ft flag pole. While ‘tender’ plants would be killed by freezing temperatures, the plants in the Winter Garden are able to provide something to visitors whatever the season.

The Winter Garden displays a diverse range of plants to dramatic visual and sensory effect. It teaches gardeners new lessons and it delights those who simply want a bright walk on a clear winter day. With the onset of winter this seasonal planting comes into its own, bringing colourful tints to brighten the gloomiest day. There is much to admire in this winter palette. A delightful array of colours, forms, textures and scents continue to provide an array of interest. The experience is enhanced by timing your visit to coincide with a bright, sunny winter day, when colours are lifted and perfumes ever-more pronounced. The Winter Garden has long provided a winter focal point for our visitors, and has continued to serve as a source of inspiration for amateur and professional horticulturists alike. Coloured stems, bark and foliage texture with winter flowers and fragrance until mid spring.

Winter can be the perfect time to enjoy your garden and make plans for the next year. Winter is often seen as a time away from the garden when the harsh weather drives gardeners indoors, but the cold weather brings both opportunities and challenges. The splashes of colour from evergreens and winter-flowering shrubs are all the more vivid for their rarity. Red holly berries, fiery orange cornus stems and vibrant purple crocus petals pop out from the cold, muted surroundings. A frost that can harm tender plants may also create the stunning spectacle of a crisp white lawn, frozen seed heads and branches dusted with ice. RHS Chelsea designer Naomi Slade advises on how to choose planting which blends the seasons, rather than seeing the garden coming to a juddering halt in November and not pick up again until March. Bulbs: planting up containers and spreads of bulbs in autumn and early winter ensures there will soon be flowers to enjoy. It can also help to link the winter and spring gardens, so there is not an awkward pause.
