If you’re looking to create an outdoor space that feels especially soothing, consider designing a monochromatic (single hue) garden using the color violet. There’s a lovely, serene, balanced quality to violet-hued, monochromatic gardens. Think of fields of lavender, mounds of sweet little violets or cascades of lilac and wisteria – beautiful, charming and enchanting. Be sure to add any of these captivating choices to your outdoor space.
