A Year of Color: How to create a bold and bright garden by Ann-Marie Powell

Turn your garden into a year-round celebration of color with Ann-Marie Powell. Whether you have a tiny yard 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 color, whatever the season. In A Year of Color, she invites you into her own garden to share her absolute favorite planting combinations, and to show you how 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, including: 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 color for bridging sunny and shady spots), Fiery Finale (rich textures and jewel tones for the garden's crescendo), Sparkling Performers (airy grasses combined with bold annual blooms), Woodland Keepsakes (layered planting to create a fall glow) and Beauty in Decay (a symphony of brown seed heads and stems). With more than 40 combinations – each with plant profiles, color charts and expert tips – this is color 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. Read more
