plants on a tree lined back drop

or variegated, viburnum Eve Price which has flowers in winter, skimmia ditto. For the holly and skimmia to bear fruit you need one of each sex in the neighbourhood or garden. I'd also plant some shrubs with coloured stems that glow in winter such as cornus by biggarden_smallknowledge
