There are several elements that make up a well thought out landscape: they include structure, shape, texture, scent, and movement. But for the majority of us home gardeners, the first element we take into consideration when designing our own personal paradise is color.
Have you ever received a bouquet of flowers just because or stopped on the street to admire someone’s flower garden? I bet it brought you a ton of joy! Flowers have a way of uplifting our spirits with their beauty and bright colours.
Cool colors (blues, purples, and greens) recede into the background and are most effective when used in a partially shady location or in a climate that experiences a lot of grey skies.
