Seasonal planting to capture a theme.
Colour theming is a great way to give your garden a certain feel or effect. Seasonal plants allow a fresh pallet every year and give the opportunity to experiment. Warm colours complement each other and give vibrancy to an area. Cool colours are calm and relaxing, providing space to unwind. Here we give our pick of seasonal plants that will work together to evoke feelings and effects.
