Description Elevate your garden with smart design choices and professional techniques from garden designer, instructor, and author Karen Chapman. Begin by learning how to edit and simplify your space by adding focal points and surrounding them with gorgeous foliage. Then, discover methods for designing with foliage, use “the three keys” – spotlight, highlight, and limelight – and plant a beautiful foliage-only container – no flowers allowed! Moving on, you’ll learn how to confidently design using focal points. Start with colorful containers and add personality with artwork, sculptures, and water features. You’ll even see how to incorporate larger structures such as pergolas and archways. As you select and add focal points to your garden, you’ll learn how to create stunning, cohesive surrounding scenes using primarily foliage for a garden composition that wows!
