The result is a nonstop parade of colour that begins with a tapestry of heirloom daffodils and hellebores in spring and ends with a jewel-like blend of Asian wildflowers at the onset of winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Layered Garden\u003c\/i\u003e shows you how to recreate Culp's majestic display.
