Gardener's Color Wheel

A Guide to Using Color in the Garden

Designed to create exciting color combinations for the garden and understand color relationships

It's new; it's fun; and it's useful to gardeners, floral designers and arrangers. It's The Gardener's Color Wheel . My name is Sydney Eddison. I've been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember and gardening since 1961. On the strength of this experience and my former profession as a set designer, I've taught a course called Color For Gardeners at the New York Botanical Garden for many years. In class, I have used a color wheel for artist's produced by The Color Wheel Company and described in my books, The Gardener's Palette and Gardens To Go. Recently, The Color Wheel Company asked me to collaborate on a new venture, a color wheel for gardeners. And here it is! The Gardener's Color Wheel will help you arrive at color schemes that really work. The companion booklet expands your color horizons. Illustrations of colorful plant combinations and short blocks of text explain the relationships between colors, principles of contrast and harmony; and the meaning and uses of tints, tones, and shades.
