Hello!
I give individual gardening lessons and sometimes they can be so rewarding. This week one of my pupils had a Eureka moment.
When we first started our lessons she told me her favourite colours were pale pinks and purples she wanted to fill her garden with these colours. No problem, very nice I thought. We also talked about colours in her clothes and in her house. Again they were pale pastels of pinks, purples and blues and creams. It looked like she knew what she wanted.
Last week our lesson was on designing with colour in the garden. We talked about how society may influence us over our colour choice. For example TV and Magazines selling us a particular lifestyle. Her homework was to go to an art a gallery and also to look at photos online of gardens online and see which colours and colour combinations really moved, excited her and drew her.
She didn't love Pinks and purples as she thought - what really thrilled and drew her in colours was shades of green, white and silver. Now she is busy looking at plants with leaves and flowers in this colour range for her garden and her home.
Have a lovely weekend
Caroline
