A Year of Color: How to create a bold and bright garden

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).
