I always think I gravitate towards the cool colors, but tend to end up using tons of oranges and yellows.

As experienced garden designers I think that we sometimes go on auto-pilot because we have confidence in what we are doing. Writing these posts about very specific design components is always a great refresher course in the "hows and whys" of what we do!Jocelyn H.

Your post is a reminder to stop and think about what I'm doing when I create a planting plan.

We all have favorite colors and it's fun to learn new tricks to make the most of them.<br /><br />Scott, those warm pinks can be a bit tricky to work with, but the folks at DBG really know their stuff! I got 10" of snow on Tuesday, and 3-5" more expected Friday night. March is a real roller-coaster around here! Thanks for stopping by!Jocelyn H.
