Colour Theory in Horticulture

Discover how colour can transform the dynamic character and experience of a garden. Colour is one of the most powerful tools available to the garden designer. Used thoughtfully, it can create atmosphere, guide movement, emphasise focal points and influence how we experience a space. This one-day course introduces colour theory through a garden design lens. We will explore colour relationships and examine how plant colour changes through the seasons, types of light, planting combinations and species selection. The course is a hands on workshop feel day to interpret the traditional colour wheel to consider how foliage, flowers, bark, seedheads and hard landscape materials can all contribute to a garden’s colour palette.
