Part 7 The surrounding environment
When it comes to colour in the garden lots of us tend to focus our attention on flowers and foliage. It's the obvious choice. But, beyond their own colour, the thing that makes leaves and blooms really shine is the background they are placed against and the objects that surround them. We're not all blessed with beautiful Cotswold stone walls, corten steel screens or fabulous views into the surrounding landscape, but it is possible to create drama, romance or serenity simply by choosing paint colours, structures and objects that truly show off our plants.
