DESCRIPTION:Join Master Gardeners from Cornell Cooperative Extension and discover the magic of adding more purple to your garden. This is an opportunity for everyone to enrich their outdoor spaces! "The Power of Purple in the Garden" is a transformative horticultural guide that delves into the importance of purple in garden design. It connects ancient cultural symbolism to modern plant science, showcasing how anthocyanins not only protect plants but also offer health benefits. Purple is not just a color; it is ecologically significant, attracting pollinators and enhancing soil health, while also being aesthetically versatile, harmonizing warm and cool tones through every season. The presentation blends design theory with practical insights, highlighting an array of flowering perennials, shrubs, trees, native plants, and edible crops perfectly suited for northeastern growing conditions. It concludes with inspiring seasonal planning tools that empower gardeners to integrate purple into their landscapes throughout the year.
