Fearless Colour Gardens: The Creative Gardener's Guide to Jumping Off the Colour Wheel Keeyla Meadows

Renowned garden artist Keeyla Meadows sees the world in strong, saturated shades. Fearless Color Gardens brings this unique vision to life by showing how to use wild, uninhibited color to connect indoor and outdoor spaces and turn a garden into a work of art. Learn: how to pick colors that work together; how to coordinate the colors of walls, benches, containers, and garden art; how to organize garden spaces through the use of color; and, how to translate personal color preferences into tangible form in the garden. Fearless Color Gardens also features a new way of looking at color with 'Keeyla's Color Triangle'; easy-to use tips on growing edibles in color themed gardens; and, Keeyla's favorite plants for specific colors. In the end, readers will want to reinvent the staid rules of the color wheel and turn their color preferences into intoxicatingly vibrant garden expressions.
