We discovered Winterberry Shrub during a brisk walk at the Massanutten Resort. It was a cold winter day in the Blue Ridge mountains, and we noticed the bright red berries! We didn’t know the name of the shrub so we tweeted our @itsgardningtime followers and they told us the name! For more on Winterberry Shrub, click here.
