The Colour Orange

Orange – the colour between red and yellow – the transition between summer and winter –  a mellowed red.

It represents the change between seasons; the hours of day; your state of mind.

It stimulates emotions, ideas, conversation.

It spices up life. It warms the cockles of your heart.  It gives you relief when things get too serious!

Tropical with vibrant green; psychedelic with pink; fresh with white.

Orange is the colour of creativity; sensuality; vibrancy.   It symbolises hope and survival in The Life of Pi.

Before and After Courtyard Garden

This courtyard garden I recently designed has transformed a small space.   Giving the plants a good strong colour on the wall behind acts as a backdrop to the espalier, which will burst into flower in summer. This view from inside is now enhanced, as well as acting as a more functional transitional area.
