With acknowledgement to my dear friend Alexandra Campbell her recent blog http://www.themiddlesizedgarden.co.uk/9-things-to-do-differently-in-the-garden-this-year/ has drawn attention to the use of black paint in gardens which I have been using in my garden designs for some time now  and here below are some pictures which might show you the ‘power of black’.  If you have an old fence which needs a facelift, or a garden shed which you might want to ‘lose’ into the background or you want to draw attention to the plants in front – why not PAINT IT BLACK?  And the best stuff to paint with is Cuprinol Black Ash.. take look at what it can do…
