In Bloom complements the design and color work with a hands-on guide to growing, harvesting and arranging homegrown blooms, turning a garden into a source of daily joy and creative displays. Readers emerge with a complete, repeatable framework for designing, planting and using flowers and foliage to enhance any space.

Book-by-Book Guide:
RHS How to Plant a Garden
The first volume in this set invites you to approach gardening as a curated design project. Matt James guides readers through a methodical process: assess what you have, decide on a unifying theme, and select plants that deliver texture, scent and year-round interest. You’ll learn how different plant groups contribute form and structure, how to troubleshoot common space limitations, and how to build planting palettes that stay vibrant through changing seasons. The emphasis is on practical design tricks, thoughtful placement and a calm, step-by-step path from concept to finished bed or border. This is the manual that helps transform a space—large or small—into a balanced, intentional landscape you’ll enjoy every day of the year. 365 Days of Colour In Your Garden
Nick Bailey’s guide is a celebration of colour as a design tool. Richly photographed and thoughtfully organized, it proves that colour can be engineered and extended beyond peak bloom. The book starts with accessible color theory and then showcases plant combinations that create mood and cohesion throughout winter, spring, summer and autumn. It provides seasonal palettes, planting recommendations for pots and borders, and practical tips for prolonging flowering and color. Whether you’re redesigning a tired border or planning a new planting scheme for a courtyard, this volume helps you craft a year-round tapestry of color that lifts spirits and elevates everyday gardening.
