Using Colour to Create Depth in the Garden

Colour can make a garden feel larger and more layered.
This garden shows how:

• Light colours in the front
White flowers catch the eye first and bring attention forward.

• Warm colours in the middle
Pinks and reds create a strong, vibrant focus that encourages the eye to look further.

• Cool colours at the back
Lavenders, blues, and soft greens fade gently into the distance, making the space feel deeper.

By arranging colours from light → warm → cool, a garden gains natural depth and becomes more inviting.
