At Gordon Castle, Scotland, these pillars of Fagus sylvatica Atropurpurea Group (copper beech, purple beech) add height and structure to the 100m long central borders. The designer Arne Maynard surrounded the topiary tree pillars with herbaceous plants in a soft colour palette with flowers and foliage of blue, purple and white with touches of yellow and apricot.
Join me on a foraging trip in the beautiful city of Prague to search for natural color found in tree nuts & leaves to make a warm neutral palette of organic inks.
