The Gardener's Color Palette

The Gardener’s Color Palette
by Tom Fischer
with photographs by Clive Nichols

I was drawn to the dazzling colors of the flowers on the cover and the photographs inside are just as spectacular. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but the contents of this book make it an excellent resource for designing a garden, or if you are thinking about changing the color scheme of an established garden. The flowers are grouped in ten color categories and includes the type of plant, zone, height, bloom time, and lists flowers that compliment each other.

I was not going to purchase more flowers this year, but after paging through The Gardener’s Color Palette . . . who can resist!
