Description"Whether you are planning a total redesign, aspire to a perfectly choreographed perennial border, or simply want to add a splash of color, this must-have book will provide the inspiration and know-how you will need to create glorious visual effects in your garden. Illustrated with stunning photographs showcasing a broad range of stylish and eye-catching gardens, Color in The Garden begins with advice on the fundamentals of garden design and planning. It then guides you, in easy-to-follow text and images, through the basics of color theory: understanding and applying the color wheel; achieving harmony or contrast in your plantings; working with light; staging seasonal effects; and most important of all, using color to express your unique personality. To assist you in your creation of beautiful garden pictures, the book is divided into chapters on pastels and neutrals, cool schemes, and warm and hot schemes. Each chapter gives detailed information on a selection of colorful 'highlights', ranging from flowering trees, shrubs, and climbers perfect for the pastel garden, through to bulbs and annuals in vibrant shades that will add bold impact to a 'hot' planting scheme. |
