I picked up ”The Gardener’s Palette” by Jo Thompson and the Royal Horticultural Society to advance my understanding of garden planning and over-sowing, especially across seasons. Whilst there are an astonishing number of colour palettes in the book, each with a description, list of plants, and beautiful photos, it didn’t quite meet my need. Each palette stands well alone but there is no guide on how go integrate them across a garden or through the season. There are relatively few Autumn and Winter palettes. If you are looking for inspiration and colour combining guidance especially designed for Britain, this one may be for you. For me, its a three out of five on the enJOYment scale. I received a complimentary copy of the book from Timber Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
