The paint colour Frances Tophill likes to use on sheds and fences

Love Your Garden’s Frances Tophill just shared a controversial gardening opinion, and it isn’t about plants – it’s about shed and fence colours. More specifically, the colours she likes and dislikes the most.

There’s always going to be a mix of opinions when it comes to fence colours you should avoid, but the British horticulturist, author and television presenter thinks pastel colours are out – and a surprisingly bold colour is in: black.

Well, surprising to some people. Personally, I (and my mum) love a black fence – and I think it can completely transform the look of a garden.
