Turn over a showy new leaf
Formal or rambling, big or small, sun or shade, it doesn't matter: Any garden space can benefit from adding a showstopper.
What you're looking for is that extra little (or big) something that makes your head turn, your Crocs skid to a stop, and your heart go pitter-pat.
True, it will be several months before your garden patch is lovingly turned, fed and planted. But while you wait, January is the perfect time to make plans to add that something special to your yard.
So grab that stack of new garden catalogs and challenge yourself to travel out of your comfort zone as you plan your 2010 garden.
Garden plants are lovely by nature, so a showstopper requires more than good looks. It has to be impressive and eye-catching, something that by dint of beauty, size, color, shape or rarity really stands out enough to merit the effort and cost that comes with nurturing it.
At a place such as Milwaukee County's Boerner Botanical Gardens, where the beauty extends for acres and every path leads to something new and interesting, it's a little more challenging to reach that show-stopper status.
