Publisher's Synopsis
A guide to planning and planting a garden, suggesting schemes and ideas. Whether you are starting a new garden or want to bring some theatrical exuberance to an area of your existing garden, this manual seeks to show how to orchestrate colours, voluptuous textures, dramatic scale and enveloping scent to spectacular effect from late spring to autumn.;The key to the bold and brilliant garden is colour; but Sarah Raven doesn't limit this to traditionally "hot" colours. She combines, for example, Venetian reds, deep crimsons with acid green and incandescent orange. To the richness of this palette she contrasts sculptural shapes and textures.
