Hi Blog Readers,
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!
Best,
Robin
