Fearless Color Gardens: The Creative Gardener's Guide to Jumping Off the Color Wheel

This book, while it could be better organized, has wonderful methods for demystifying color combinations, and encourages you to play with color, and learn to see color in new ways.

Wow! What a great book. Chuck full of delightfully written text accompanied by stunning photos of innventive and 'fearless' garden ideas. Keeyla's gardens reflect her infectious personality and original garden style. Gimme a cup of tea and this book and I'm set for the afternoon!
