Color Garden
The term "color garden" has in popular use two
contradictory interpretations. In the first sense, a
color garden is a garden specially planted in order
to display a wide variety of colors, often in a
particular season (for example a fall color garden).
In the second sense, a color garden may more
accurately be labeled a single-color garden. Such a
garden is planted so that it overwhelms the observer
with a single color. While this may seem a rather
bland approach at first, such gardens were made
popular by the work of famous garden designers such
as
Gertrude Jekyll and
Vita Sackville-West. Sackville-West, for
example, created what may have been one of the most
famous single-color gardens, the
Sissinghurst Castle's all-white garden.
