Winter Protection for Tender Plants

We landscaped our garden last summer , and stocked with lots of beautiful shrubs. However we left them unprotected in the winter and they spent weeks under heavy snow, and we ended up losing several. An example would be acers in pots

We don't have a greenhouse for shelter

I was wondering if it is possible to erect small temporary green house, tall enough to shelter shrubs.?

Or what would be your recommendation be

Thanks for any advice :0)

The ideal solution for your Winter protection is an OverwinteringPlant Tent.  This can be erected during the Winter and then removed when not required.

Alternatively you could also cover each individual plant with a fleecejacket which will also provide the necessary protection.  I used these on my precious tree fern last year which came through a very cold winter
unscathed.

I hope that this is helpful, however please let me know if I can be of any further help.

Kindest Regards
