The key elements of good design are universal. Color, form, texture and scale are all important no matter what field of design you practice. And if you have an underlying concept to tie your composition together, that's the icing on the cake.
I love taking the principles I've learned in graphic design and applying them to the garden. Garden design, however, gives the added challenge of light, water and soil requirements. Getting all these elements in sync is like working a puzzle and continually moving the pieces around until you have just the right fit.

ReplyDeleteGreat combination of plants! What are the plants on the right in "deck+plants+07.jpg"?
ReplyDeleteThe tall plant is a Canna and below it is a dwarf bamboo (Pleioblastus Viridi-striatus) that only grows to 3" high. Keep your eyes peeled at Home Depot over the next few weeks. They get Cana in and that are good size and are the most inexpensive I've seen. They will sometimes survive the winter but really want to be taken indoors or covered in a cold snap. The bamboo is very cold hardy.
