Colour Me A Garden by Australians Margaret Hanlon Dunn and artist Barbara O’Leary is a lush 1987 hardcover that pairs practical horticulture with painterly inspiration. Every spread invites gardeners, artists and weekend potterers to match petal and leaf shades to the authors’ hand-picked palettes, turning backyard planning into an immersive colour workshop.

Golden Press’s 342-page vintage volume roams from wildflower meadows to manicured borders, explaining how tone, texture and light shape a living canvas. O’Leary’s delicate illustrations sit beside straightforward planting notes, so readers can test swatches against real blooms and foliage while learning the botany behind each hue.

This first edition ex-library copy remains solid and crisp, with only faint shelf rub to the front endpaper and one page showing gentle fading—minor quirks that never interrupt the vibrant guidance inside. A charming addition to any gardening shelf or artists’ reference library, ready to spark fresh landscaping ideas.

Collectors of 1980s Australian botanical titles, colour-theory enthusiasts and eco-conscious DIY landscapers all treasure this scarce handbook. Grab it now to let Dunn and O’Leary show you how to paint your patch of earth in living colour.
