Color


Each autumn as I drive around the delightful state of Georgia, I marvel at the gorgeous display of color provided by the variety of flora! I am impressed by the landscapers ability to bring color to our surroundings by selecting trees and bushes that add fire and light to the end of the summer greens.


We have a book on the shelf with delightful pictures of the Fall garden, Fallscaping : Extending your garden season into autumn by Nancy J. Ondra and Stephanie Cowan [SB 423.4 2007]. The authors offer hints and tips for selecting just the right plant to add that touch of color to an area.


Get ready for next year by admiring what others have done, learning how they did it, and then planting your contribution to the beauty of our state.
