Using Color Effectively: A Gardener's Progress -
Drawing on a lifetime of gardening, Pam Harper will show us how to create memorable color harmonies and how to avoid color faux pas. She co-authored one of the first books about perennials for US gardens, Perennials: How to Select, Grow, and Enjoy, published in 1985. Pamela followed this seminal book with others, including Color Echoes: Harmonizing Color in the Garden and Time Tested Plants, which include her splendid photographs and careful observations of her own garden and individual plants.
Juxtaposing Textures to Create Drama - Graham Gough and Lucy Goffin Gough will discuss their process of collaborative garden creation and how to juxtapose textures for maximum effect. They have worked together to create gorgeous display gardens at Marchants Hardy Plants, their nursery in East Sussex, England. Graham grows unusual herbaceous perennials and choice grasses. Before starting Marchants, he was in partnership for several years with
the great plantswoman Elizabeth Strangman, at Washfield Nursery. Lucy is arenowned textile artist whose work unites color and texture. As an artist-in-residence for a year, she captured in paint the colors and textures of Great Dixter, the late Christopher Lloyd’s garden. Graham, plantsman and garden designer, and Lucy, renowned textile artist, blend their backgrounds to create memorable plant
combinations with plenty of WOW.
Creating Magical Moments Using Light - Bernard Trainor will show how he creates magical moments with light in garden landscapes. With over 20 years of academic and practical experience, he has lectured and written extensively, won numerous awards, and is the design director for Bernard Trainor + Associates based in Monterey, California. Bernard appreciates the regional qualities and cultures of a place, drawing on his diverse background, which includes landscape study and work in Australia and Britain. For the past 12 years, he has focused on projects in California. While he designs with light as a major element, he comments, “Often the most striking effects relating to color, form, and texture occur when light plays an unpredictable role.” He has become nationally known for
both the sensitivity of his hardscapes and his
exquisite use of plants; he has recently been named
one of the most influential designers of his
generation.
