Klappentext
Turn your garden into a year-round celebration of colour with Ann-Marie Powell.
Whether you have a tiny courtyard or acres of land, your garden is the one place devoted to joy -- and designer Ann-Marie Powell knows exactly how to fill it with colour. In A Year of Colour , she invites you into her own garden to share her absolute favourite planting combinations so that you too can have a bold and bright garden all year round.
Choose from ready-made , tried-and-tested ideas that take you through the year. With more than 40 combinations -- each with plant profiles, colour charts and expert tips -- this is colour made easy and achievable. You'll find rich and sultry tulips perfect for pots; glowing golden hues that light up dark corners; long-flowering perennials to maximise the season; and red-hot displays that work in sun and partial-shade. These are real planting ideas that work: joyful, personality-packed plantings that attract bees, butterflies and birds -- and make you smile on dreary Monday mornings.
Photographed by Julie Skelton throughout the seasons, this book captures colour as a living, shifting performance. Each chapter ends with Ann-Marie's essential tasks and step-by-step tutorials -- from filling gaps in borders and simple tricks for prolonging the season, to planting bulb lasagnes and creating forced displays for midwinter cheer.
If you want a garden that's bold, beautiful and brimming with life , A Year of Colour will show you how. Perfect for gardeners who want more colour and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty.

Golden Woodland Tapestry :early bulbs and perennials for dappled shade
Flame and Fire: border tulips with staying power
Early Summer Fireworks: naturalistic planting with punch
Sun Meets Shade: late summer colour for bridging sunny and shady spots
