Monochromatic Color Palettes for the Garden – White
The understated elegance of an all-white garden lends it a sense of beauty and serenity that is timeless. While there may be more limited color variations found in white monochromatic gardens when compared to monochromatic palettes using other hues such as pink or purple, the end result can still be visually dynamic and textured. As an added bonus, with some well-placed lighting or open access to moonlight, you can also enjoy the luminous quality white offers as an evening garden. Add some beautiful highlights to your garden with these frosty favorites:
