Color Theory for the Gardener by Bruce Crawford Tues., Nov. 17, 2015 7:30 PM

Many times a gardener ponders why a garden does not have the desired impact that was envisioned when the garden was initially planned and installed. After carefully selecting the colors that one thought was appropriate for the design, the end result was not as strong or as harmonious as anticipated. Join your fellow Master Gardeners for a presentation that looks at numerous approaches to using color more effectively in a garden, regardless of whether the garden is designed to calm and pacify or excite and entice!

Bruce Crawford, Director of Rutgers Gardens and a generous friend of the Master Gardeners of Bergen County, had his own garden design business for nearly 25 years that specialized in plantings for year-round interest. Today, Bruce is the Director of Rutgers Gardens, the botanical garden for Rutgers University, and is an adjunct professor in Landscape Architecture at Rutgers University. His position as Director of Rutgers Gardens involves the management of the 180 acre facility, which includes designed gardens, woodlands and open fields. Open 365 days a year and with over 20,000 visitors a year, the emphasis is increasingly focused upon interesting plant combinations that can be experienced throughout the changing seasons. ,{5.,K
