flowers during spring and summer. Even the shapes of plants can enhance
your garden by providing all-season architectural interest--Nellie
makes it easy to explore it all.The Nonstop Color Garden is
perfect for the more experienced gardener, but even

nonstop color, garden structure, and garden design. Nellie presents
several strategies for crafting a thematically cohesive yet unstylized
landscape that includes plant selection and placement.

color. Create unifying pairings of similar foliage types. Work with
existing land forms and indigenous vegetation. Everyone who takes pride
and pleasure in their garden will not want to
miss this informative, fun, colorful book!
