GARDEN DESIGN WITH GREEN IN MIND
This new series came about when
Louise and I were talking about the colour green in gardens, and that mostly
gardeners overlooked how effective the green in your garden really is.
A one-colour strategy frees you to
master the brushstrokes of form and texture. It also allows enough elbow room
to for you to explore a single-color palette's potential in pale and deep
shades, in fine leaf or large leaf, variegated or not.
The colour green doesn't fatigue the
eye.
Single-color gardens show as much
boldness and flair as the most elaborately matched schemes.
These types of gardens have an
endless varying palette, from true green, gray-green, and blue-green to
purple-green and yellow-green. Each has a different impact.
It’ s only limited by your
imagination.
