    I think you’ve done a great job with the colors and textures of foliage. They last a whole lot longer than just blossoms.

      Hi Sue,

      You rightly said that He had done a great job with the colors and textures of foliage because today’s gardeners are increasingly drawn to designs that focus on foliage as the main element. While flowers bloom and fade as the season progresses, foliage offers vibrant color and texture throughout the growing season.

    The foilage combinations are beautiful John. This is something we are trying to do in our borders too, great inspiration.

    Love those grasses. I’m just starting to use them in the garden. There’s so many beautiful ones to choose from.

    Amazing how much variation there is in the colours of the leaves…

    Love the variation in colors. Sometimes the different greens give the most calming feeling.

    Just beautiful! And I would guess much easier than deadheading!
