Join us for this engaging class exploring how color in foliage, flowers, and garden accents can transform your garden and bring new life to your outdoor space. We often know what we like when we see it, but what makes certain color combinations feel calming, energizing, or harmonious?
Through an introduction to color theory and the use of the color wheel, you’ll learn how color influences the way we experience a garden. Participants will enjoy hands-on activities that explore how colors interact across plants and garden elements.
You’ll leave inspired and equipped with ideas to create a garden plan that reflects your personal style through thoughtful color choices.
