With Spring here, and
the promise of warm weather, it is time to turn our interests to planting
flowers and gardening, after the rough winter most of the region had. I feel it
very helpful when planting flowers to keep colors together, which I call color
continuity. A lot of folks add so much color to their gardening
that the area looks too busy. What I find helpful is thinking about the types
of colors one would put inside their home. There should not be so many colors
that the interior of the home looks like a paint chart. So, why do that outside
as well? Choose a few colors that fuse together. A few examples are pinks and
purples, with a touch of white. Reds and purples, with a touch of white. Yellow
and white are fantastic together!
In mostly everything I
do, I think about the concept in relation to interior decorating. That is what
I suggest to my clients. Hence, design mistakes never happen.
Happy planting and
gardening! Happy spring, folks!
