Yellow Conifers: The Perfect Garden Accent
Yellow conifers add color, interest and are low maintenance.
I used to work with a wonderful gal, Ginny; hello, Ginny, if you are reading this. She told me her favorite color was yellow. At the time, I thought, wow, you don't often hear yellow as a favorite color, but now it's at the top of the list for me, too.
Yellow conifers are the perfect addition to any garden. Not only do they add color and interest, but they also provide year-round beauty. Their striking golden hues stand out among the greenery, making them a popular choice for gardeners who want to add a pop of color to their landscape.
One of the great things about yellow conifers is that they come in many different shapes and sizes. From tall and narrow to short and creeping, there's a yellow conifer to fit any space. Plus, they're relatively low-maintenance, requiring little pruning to maintain their shape and size.

I’ve read that colors can affect our moods. Color therapy gurus suggest yellow leads to cheerfulness, mental clarity, and inspiration. Yellow also stimulates happiness and adds to a strong sense of well-being. Except for "The Limey". You'll have to watch the video to get that.😊
Enjoy the video and if you would like to see more conifers, check out these three additional videos, here, here, and here.
