February Meeting-Simple Color Theory for Gardeners

Many might be familiar with color theory in painting, but there are some significant differences when it comes to gardening: color echoes for building depth, false neutrals v true neutrals, matching versus non-matching, as well as non-traditional but popular color combinations that flout all color theory recommendations. This will be a hands-on lecture, with props for practice to understand why certain things work and why they don’t and also to emphasize the personal nature of color perception and taste. What’s important is to understand what you want to achieve and how best to do it, knowing some basic color theory and its application to the garden.
Presenter: Cecilia Mikalac has been a painter for more than 50 years and a gardener for 15 years. She has learned the hard way that one’s yard is a different canvas entirely.
