Glorious colour
Many novice gardeners have great difficul- ty choosing plant varieties for their yards, particularly when colour is concerned.
Combining colours and foliage is always a challenge, even for more experienced gardeners. It is well worth doing some
research, however, as a harmonious flower bed sets apart a well-maintained home with little cost and only a little bit of effort. Here are a few tips to help you create a visually striking yard, one that suits your personality and creates the look that you’ve always wanted. • Yellow stands out, attracting the eye right away. This colour creates a joyful ambi- ance. • Red is a warm colour. It draws the eye and creates a dramatic effect. • Blue communicates calm and relaxation. A grouping of blue flowers gives the impression of more space. Careful use
of blue in small yards can show confined areas to advantage. • Oranges are fall tones par excellence . They create an illusion of warmth and light before the arrival of winter. Even greater warm effects can be achieved by combining orange with yellow or red. • Green is the colour of life and spring rebirth. It is said to be the most restful colour for the eyes. Different tones of green can be the basis of a beautiful yard all on its own. • White expresses elegance and refine- ment. This colour always adds a touch of radiance and freshness to a yard.
