From Emerald Carpet to Amber Wave with William Cullina
Thursday, February 28 2008, 7:00pm - 8:30pm

Gardens and landscapes are fusions of form, color, and texture. While the three elements act in concert to create spaces, moods, and aesthetic impressions, we tend to focus on color. Color is candy for the eye, but texture and form are the starch and protein—richer, more complex, and enduring, and creating spaces by giving them tone and mood. In this visual extravaganza, William Cullina will introduce some of his favorite native ferns, grasses, and sedges.

William Cullina is Director of Horticultural Research for the New England Wild Flower Society, and is an award winning author of several popular books, including The New England Wild Flower Society's Guide to Growing and Propagating Wildflowers, Understanding Orchids, and the newly published Native Ferns, Moss, and Grasses.
