About Bold Garden
If bold and edgy gardens are your thing, then this is the group for you. We're talking bright colors, strong forms, great textures, and unique garden elements. Tropical gardens often fit the bill, but they aren't the only bold gardens. Please feel free to post photos of your own garden or bold gardens that you lust after.
Since this group is more about bold design principles, landscape shots are preferred over those of individual flowers.
Well-known gardeners who have expressed these qualities in their gardens include Sarah Raven and the late Christopher Lloyd, among others.
If you'd like an idea of what plants can provide a bold look for your garden, here's a brief list:
+ Aroids
+ Bamboos
+ Bananas
+ Bromeliads
+ Cannas
+ Crinums
+ Dahlias
+ Palms
+ Succulents
+ Yuccas
And if you like to look at plant photos offline, here are some books for inspiration:
+ The Bold & Brilliant Garden , Sarah Raven
+ The New Exotic Garden, Will Giles
+ Encyclopedia of Exotic Plants for Temperate Climates, Will Giles
+ Exotic Planting for Adventurous Gardeners, Christopher Lloyd and Friends
+ Hot Plants for Cool Climates, Susan Roth and Dennis Schrader
+ Foliage, Nancy Ondra
Happy gardening!
