Abstract/Contents:Compares golf course superintendents and horticulturists, stating that "superintendents see the golf course and look at the quality of the grass while horticulturists see grass as a backdrop that sets the stage for flowers." Describes the color wheel as "a fundamental tool in building a garden." Discusses how to use warm and cool colors; "warm colours [colors] give the illusion that things are closer than they appear, while cool colours make them look further away." Provides five schemes to consider when mixing colors together to create color harmonies: a monochromatic color harmony, an analogous color harmony, a complementary color harmony, a triadic color harmony, and a split complementary color harmony. Concludes that "when designing a colour [color] harmony into existing beds, you must take into consideration your site and the things you can not change on it, such as architecture, colour of the building or trees. Also keep in mind what happens on the site; what it is used for; when it is used and if it is viewed all year or just in the growing season."
