Color by Design: Planting the Contemporary Garden
Editorial Reviews
House Beautiful magazine, December 1998
"Color By Design" is THE book to give a flower-loving friend. It may even tempt her to rip out her garden and start anew, so eloquent are the Popes in advocating single-color plantings with all their harmonious shifts in shades and saturation. Chapters are divided by color, and within each chapter sumptuous photographs of plants and plant combinations are organized by season.
Horticulture, May 1999
[In "Color by Design"] the monochromatic garden is seen not as limiting but just the opposite: the Popes are taking single-hued borders to new artistic hights...Even if you don't want to isolate hues in your own garden, this book will inspire with its crisp photography; head shots (portraits of single flowers) in each chapter are stunning examples of pure color. For ideas about the habit of the plant (height, width, blooming times, etc.), research beyond this text is necessary, but for color alone it is like receiving a new box of watercolors for Christmas. No nursery visit will ever come close to putting together this range of color possibilities.
