9780711220546 English 0711220549 A guide to using color in the garden that explores how to achieve the effect you require, whether you want an instant splash of brilliant seasonal color, or a border with subtle year-round appeal. It discusses ways to put color together, and demonstrates the power of color to change the sense of space, to suggest coolness and warmth and to evoke different moods. The basis of creating harmonizing and contrasting schemes is explained and illustrated with examples. All the major schemes are supported by line drawings giving full planting details. Illustrated plant directories, arranged by color and flowering season, provide cultivation details for over 850 plants, enabling you to assemble the right plants for your chosen scheme, and to carry that scheme throughout the year., Andrew Lawson shines a new light on using color in the garden. Whether you want an instant splash of brilliant seasonal color, or a sumptuous border with subtle year-round appeal, you will find out how to achieve it here., Marc Spitz assumed that if he lived like his literary and rock 'n' roll heroes, he would become a great artist, too. He conveniently overlooked the fact that many of them died young, broke, and miserable. In his candid, wistful, touching, and hilarious memoir, 'Poseur', the music journalist, playwright, author, and blogger recounts his misspent years as a suburban kid searching for authenticity, dangerous fun, and druggy, downtown glory: first during New York's last era of risk and edge, the pre-gentrification '90s, and finally as a flamboyant and notorious rock writer, partying and posing during the music industry's heady, decadent last gasp.Part profane, confidential tell-all and part sweetly frank coming-of-age tale, this dirty, witty memoir finds Spitz careening through the scene, meeting and sometimes clashing with cultural icons like Courtney Love, Jeff Buckley, Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, Chloë Sevigny, Kim Deal, The Dandy Warhols, Guns N' Roses, Ryan Adams, Paul Rudd, Coldplay, Pavement, Peter Dinklage, Julie Bowen, The Strokes, Trent Reznor, Chuck Klosterman, Interpol, and Franz Ferdinand, as well as meeting heroes like Allen Ginsberg, Shirley Clarke, Joe Strummer, and Morrissey. Along the way he finds literary guru Gordon Lish is a long-lost relative, and erstwhile pal and sensation JT LeRoy is an even bigger poseur.Spitz refuses to give up the romantic ghost until a post-9/11 breakdown and an improbable new love (fellow music writer Lizzy Goodman) finally help him strike the hardest pose of all: his true self., Whether it's an instant splash of brilliant seasonal colour or a sumptuous border with subtle year-round appeal, this award-winning book shows how to create the perfect garden scheme. The power of colour to change the sense of space, to suggest coolness or warmth, even to evoke different moods is explained. At the same time, the basis for creating harmonizing and contrasting schemes is detailed using dramatic, keyline drawings. Illustrated plant directories are arranged by colour and flowering season, and there are cultivation details for over 850 plants.
