Revised and updated, a complete guide to creating color effects in the gardenAndrew Lawson has an artist's eye, a scientist's training, and long experience as both a gardener and a photographer of gardens. In this book he calls on all his skills and practical knowledge to illuminate the complex subject of using color in the garden and to demonstrate the extraordinary power of color to change the sense of space, to suggest coolness or warmth, and to evoke different moods. The Gardener's Book of Colour shows how to put colors together in garden beds, borders, and containers, explaining how to construct harmonizing and contrasting schemes and exuberant displays of mixed color. All the major schemes are supported by keyline drawings giving full planting details.
