A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Color Your Garden is an invaluable source of inspiration and reference for all gardeners who wish to master the use of color. An artist before she became a garden designer, author Jill Billington's skill in explaining the use of color in planting design is unmatched. Practical guidance is provided on using color in different ways—from bringing harmony and balance to the garden and creating its main focus to spicing the garden up by introducing deliberate contrast. Gardeners are given suggestions on how to group together a variety of plants when planning beds and using them as a border. This guide shows how to best use color to suit the personality of the gardener, and detailed illustrations capture the essence of different moods, based on planting designs using cool, calm pastels or vibrant, vivacious hues. Every page offers beautiful photographs, many of them specially commissioned, offering a continual source of inspiration and showing the rich variety of stunning effects that can be achieved in your garden through the use of color.
