OK … .I admit it … .I really never , ever took the time to either make colour pallet or plan any garden in my life before . I ’m not really a planner , more of an , well , artist , I guess . I like to believe that I move spontaneously to influences….that glare just will happen , as if a devine creative gift such as being a interior decorator , allows one the exemption to create….randomly . But I was untimely . With age , I have to admit that this hypothesis of simply throw up out stuff generally result in , well , spew . perchance that theory shape before there was SO MUCH to influence us … maybe it worked , let ’s say , in another period … like victorian , or arts & craft , or even modernity in the 1970s … … but today , when jsut about anything go , and when most everything is usable to most everyone , all at the same time , there is a much with child risk of chaos , visually speaking , anyway . Random influence is dangerous , we all must stop it .
So welcome to some of the beds this year , where I am excercising restraint . I ’m calling it ‘ practicing paying attention enquiry ’ … and yes … it ’s still , quite creative , and even esthetic since now , I am actually stick with a well - imagine out and well explore colouring material pallette , but try out with various plant material that may or may not be commingle together normally . There are okay lines between such rules , since one must surveil a foundational social structure that limit plant life material such as photograph , hardiness , etc….but since I chance to have a nursery , and I am more than willing to lease a tropic plant die in the garden , as well as pick out to dig it up in two month and lug a bath into the greenhouse for the winter , I might as well play with what Modern options I really have . I also considered , or toss aside such things as texture and provenance – ( i.e. tropic industrial plant may or may not crop with temperate evergreens , for representative ) . This experiment does n’t come easy , it helps , I feel , to have a horticultural noesis as well as an esthetic one….yet these ruler are ment to be broken at time , it sometimes is distressingly clear when one experiment without anterior knowledge . ( in chef - speak- the whole Coriandrum sativum may or may not go with cinnamon sort of thing).So I made some color rules . First , I wanted to go beyond what I was seeing in the voguish gardening magazine , or what was being suggested for combining at my local garden centers . SInce I am first , an artist , color , by nature comes , well , naturally to me . Now , granted , not everyone likes my trend and taste . But I want to also avoid the BIG rules that one often see ’s women follow merely because it ’s all they recognize … .. ”I desire blue hydrangea at my wedding” … .”I can only plant blue and silver gray in my english garden ” or “ I must have sunflowers since I see them on a cover of martha Stewart Living ” . Now , chill out , trust me , I am porbobly a greater fan of Martha Stewart that any of you could dare to be , but you must also understand that most in all probability , Martha herself is beyond sunflowers and blue hydrangeas at this moment….instead , most likely , she is experimenting and discovering such new plant life trends as Crocosmeas and Corydalis . One shoud select a plant because of more peprsonal reasons that how your neighbor will retrieve of you … .. sure , I love blue hydrangea , as a beach theater , in front of a bungalo , they have thier place . Choose plant textile for the positioning .
