Winter transforms the gardens. The more delicate plants are shrouded in protective covers, the last of the brilliant autumn leaves are rimed with hoar frost, the lakes freeze, and the fountains are still. Occasional snowfalls soften outlines and if one looks closely the beginnings of new spring growth can be seen.
