Color can set a mood at a glance—we all choose colors every day to reflect how we’re feeling or as personal expression, with our clothing and in our homes. So why can it seem so difficult to choose and use colorful plants well? Since our gardens are where we spend time every day to relax, they should be filled with colors that make us truly happy. The Gardener’s Palette, from the world’s most respected gardening organization and a winner of multiple Chelsea Flower Show medals, is an entirely new way for home gardeners to confidently and successfully incorporate color at home. Garden designer Jo Thompson curates 100 evocative and fresh palettes, pairs them with lavishly beautiful images of professionally designed gardens, and then breaks them down with plant-by-plant charts showing which exact species and cultivars are used, and lists full growing specifications so all home gardeners can truly re-create the look themselves. Lush, inspiring, and packed with plants, The Gardener’s Palette will be a welcome addition to the shelf of enthusiastic gardeners everywhere.
