Jazzing Up the Garden
with Color, Contrast and Movement

 

Join Karen Bussolini who will introduce you to sizzling plant combinations of color and contrast. There’s no need to be overwhelmed by color wheels and plant choice. Bussolini reflects on what makes certain combinations work – or not. A truly satisfying garden is much more than just a bunch of nice plants. It’s boring if plants just sit there next to each other – they need to interact, to carry on a conversation, to have dynamic contrasts.

Her talk is full of exciting plant combinations photographed in gardens across the country. Starting with simple combinations, and an explanation of how you can use color or texture, gesture, light-reflecting qualities, repetition, color echoes and other qualities. Bussolini will also progress to more complex schemes. Plants with distinctive character and plants that move – or appear to – enliven the mix.

Jazzing Up the Garden with Color, Contrast and Movement gives gardeners simple intuitive ways of thinking about combining plants that anyone can use easily – without angst or color wheel.
