According to Sensational Color.com, the color white affects us physically by:

*Aiding mental clarity

*Encouraging us to clear clutter or obstacles

*Evoking purification of thoughts or actions

*Enabling fresh beginnings

And as Pablo Picasso reminded us, “Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.” It’s why white is the perfect color to add in your summer garden design.
