Jazzing up the Garden with Color, Contrast, and Movement
Jazzing up the Garden with Color, Contrast, and Movement
Jazzing Up the Garden with Color, Contrast and Movement conveys simple intuitive ways of thinking about combining plants that anyone can use easily - without angst or color wheel. Starting with simple combinations, and an explanation of how the gardener used color or texture, gesture, light-reflecting qualities, repetition, color echoes and other qualities, the talk progresses to more complex schemes. Plants with special character and plants that move - or appear to - enliven the mix.
