Editorial Reviews
Book Description
All in color! Use color in the garden the way a painter uses it on canvas: to create mood, atmosphere, and special effects. In photographs that will bring out the gardener in anyone, use the six color categories to see what each can do. Blues give a feeling of space and peace to any composition. Vivid reds add drama to a border. Greens form the backdrop and add texture. Grays dim and soften, white brightens, and yellows offer radiant light. Mix them up for a wider palette, and take advantage of seasonal hues. 18 exquisite gardening plans will help you design planting schemes that calm, cheer, excite, and impress. Bonus

: invaluable plant and color directories. Trim size: 9 x 10 1/8. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
