Red In The Garden
When used with great abandon, as in the red garden at Hidcote or what was once the red border at the now defunct Hadspen Garden (but that can still be seen in Nori and Sandra Pope’s book Color By Design), red rules!
The sight of a crisp, blood red jolts our senses and makes us feel more alive. The color red says ‘Notice me. I’m a diva and a force with which to be reckoned.’
After all, why does someone choose to buy a red car or a red cocktail dress? They're giving off the signal loud and clear that ‘I’m one sexy siren. Touch me and you’ll sizzle!’
In order to pull off a red garden successfully, you need to be fearless! When a red garden works, there is nothing quite as magical and powerful.
