Now, colour is key to me in my whole life and, of course, in the garden.

And it is to Arthur, my co-host as well.

He's passionate about colour as much as I am.

And in this episode, I'm going to lead the discussion

with Arthur adding in his thoughts on how we arrange colour into separate palettes in separate areas

of the garden living on a farm I'm lucky to have the luxury of space so I've devoted each area of the

garden to a different palette.

But even if I only garden with a small space like Arthur, I'd have very strict colour palette segregation.

And what I mean by that is it wouldn't be kind of a free-for-all, licorice all-sort, glorious, crazy chaos. Now, the aim of this podcast is to try

to explain as simply as I can what I mean by that.

As a child, I was obsessed by boxes of crayons, boxes of paints, stickers, coloured paper that I was obsessed by boxes of crayons, boxes of paints, stickers, coloured paper that I would cut out and stick.

And I just sort of played around with colour the whole time. And then I moved on to those

those funny sort of rag, rug, but with wool things with those French clips and making cushions

endlessly. But it was just always, I was really drawn, literally kind of physically drawn towards

colour. And walking down the street still now, if I see a really beautiful range of colours,

like in a bookshop window or maybe in a flower shop,

but often there it's more dispersed.

So it's where they're sort of really right next to each other.

I just feel like I can't possibly walk past.

I have to stand there and kind of suck it all up and absorb it.

And I'm sure that's why one of the reasons I became a gardener.
