However, understanding the basic principles of using color in design can help make that picture in your head a reality. Any color scheme can work, it's your garden so if you're happy who cares what anyone else thinks.
Color can be soothing or exciting, it can be a riot or a river, it can be front and center or something much more subtle, but whatever our choices, color is the goal. Our gardens are meant to enhance our lives and to make our homes look better from the curb. That color can come from flowers, foliage, bark, pottery, furniture, fences and even artwork, but in the end it is all about color.
When you get right down to it gardens are really about color.
