In the spring issue of the Arboretum Bulletin, we kicked off a new, illustrated series on garden design with a look at structure. In the latest issue of the magazine, we continue the series with a brief meditation on color.
Garden writer Daniel Mount offers some encouraging words on what can be tough challenge for many gardeners: choosing and combining foliage and flower colors.
“Whether you intend your garden to be a place for serene relaxation or fun parties—or both—your use of color will be important in achieving your goal,” writes Daniel.
