The Gardener’s Palette

In The Gardener's Palette, Jo Thompson presents a new way for home gardeners to think about color that will be familiar to anyone who’s ever painted a room in their home. Using the Royal Horticultural Society’s industry-standard color chip system, Thompson developed 100 color palettes derived from beautiful photographs of existing gardens to give readers a feel for how they will look in real life. Easy-to-decipher growth charts made from thumbnails of flower head shots on the same spread show readers the specific plants they can use to get the look. The Gardener's Palette also includes sidebars on color history and mood. A robust resource section gives readers a thorough listing of recommended nurseries and sources.
