As spring progresses, this Bank Holiday weekend presents a perfect opportunity to enhance your garden's color scheme. By employing a technique known as color echoing, gardeners can create a cohesive look by repeating shades across various plants. Start with a color you love, such as the soft pink of a rose or the white of a foxglove, and look for ways to incorporate that color throughout your borders. For instance, a white and green scheme can transition beautifully from white foxgloves in May to white cosmos in summer. Additionally, incorporating foliage colors can add depth and variety to your garden. The ceanothus, or Californian lilac, is highlighted as a standout choice for its striking blue flowers and glossy evergreen leaves, thriving in sunny, well-drained areas. Besides planting, this weekend is also ideal for practical gardening tasks, such as taking cuttings of herbs and treating wooden furniture to prepare for summer use. Regular feeding of houseplants should also commence as their growth picks up with the warmer weather.
