Are you a sucker for blossoms, flowers and bulbs? Does your garden look amazing in early Spring and then lacklustre for the other 48 weeks of the year? In this episode we chat about how good design delivers colour and effect through every season. We’ll give you ideas and some formulas to find that balance of flowers, foliage and hardscaping. We prompt you to think design first and then think plants. We chat about choosing plants that fulfil several functions and plants that achieve impact through their foliage colour, height, form and contrast. So, listen in before being tempted by a Spring nursery binge. Photos for this episode are on Instagram at OnGardenDesign.
