INTRODUCTION
"365 Days of Colour in Your Garden" by Nick Bailey is a lush, photographic guide aimed at gardeners of all levels who want their gardens to burst with colour throughout the year. Bailey, well known as a presenter on BBC Gardeners’ World and former Head Gardener at Chelsea Physic Garden, shows you how to plant and manage your garden so that there’s something blooming or visually interesting in every season.
The book begins with an accessible introduction to colour theory — how to match plants, contrast foliage, and make colour work even if your space is small or you have challenging light. Then Bailey walks through beautiful planting combinations for spring, summer, autumn, and winter. He highlights long-flowering plants, pot recipes (which are especially useful for those with limited garden space), and solutions for difficult sites that struggle with drought, shade, or compact ground.
What makes it especially helpful is its structure as a “seasonal directory”: each month you’ll find suggestions of what to plant, when to do maintenance, and how to keep colour consistent, even through the “lean” months. Whether you have a big garden or just a balcony, Bailey’s mix of inspiration and practical advice makes this a go-to for creating year-round garden beauty.
