Creating Echoes in the Garden

Bring harmony to your garden with these easy-to-follow strategies. Learn how simple repetitions of color, texture, shape, and form can pull your design together—no matter how many one-of-this and one-of-that plants you have. 

"Apart from their visual appeal, echoes serve specific functions in the garden. They create harmony and rhythm between garden beds, establish a natural flow by visually connecting different areas of the garden, and even help unify a disjointed garden bed, which can occur with too many random plant purchases." —Rebecca Sweet
