NATURE PRESS WORKSHOP & COLOR THEORY FOR GARDENERS LECTURE WITH CCE’s MASTER GARDENERS

3-5PM: Nature Press Workshop by CCE’s Volunteer Master Gardeners

Led by Master Gardeners from the Ulster Cornell Cooperative Extension, participants will make their very own nature press out of recycled materials to take home! Learn the history of the nature press also known as a herbarium. Preserve your love of nature! Use your pressed flowers and leaves in other projects.

4-5PM: Color Theory for Gardeners by David Thiergartner, MGV

The art of gardening includes the visual impact of color.  Color in all its forms - including the endless color spectrum of flowers, the subtle shades and textures of leaves and the importance of shrubs and trees in providing necessary background and depth of field. This program will explore principles and strategies to make compelling color design choices by delving into color wheel theory, exploring color combinations, enhancing vibrant seasonal changes and discovering the beauty of the cold color contrast of winter.

David Thiergartner is an award winning Interior Designer and owner of an architectural interior design firm.  He is recognized for his understated elegant interiors.  David has designed luxurious interiors throughout the country and his work has appeared in the New York Times, House Beautiful and numerous publications.  He is an avid gardener and lives with his husband in West Hurley.

No registration necessary, this is a drop in type of program–comes anytime between 2pm and 4pm or until supplies run out. Donations appreciated.
