‘Bellamy makes gardening seem simple, expressive and joyful. Anyone can do it.’ – Evening Standard ‘I am hungry for colour. I want hot red and acid yellow, violet blue and caterpillar green. I want cinnamon orange with scorched yellow, liquorice and blackcurrant. I want amethyst, putty and smoky blue, the liminal in-between colours, and sharp lemon with tart pink and purple that is rich and electric. We all know instinctively that colour is good for us and it is colour that draws me out into my garden.’ Lucy Bellamy When you add colour to a garden it instantly creates atmosphere. While most of us know which colours we like, and maybe even which colours we want in our garden, knowing which plants will achieve this can be more difficult. Gardening writer Lucy Bellamy and photographer Jason Ingram offer a deep dive into transformative colour combinations, exploring how to choose plants and use them creatively and inventively throughout the gardening year. With inspirational planting schemes and plant lists, advice on colour in containers, tiny back gardens and compact front gardens, this book will change the way you approach your outdoor space – and how it makes you feel.
