Lunch and Lecture
July 15 Creating the Color Garden: Chihuly Style!
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Chihuly’s colorful Cattails add a whimsical twist to the pentas, zinnias, coleus, and cannas of the Robertson Ellis Color Garden. These intricate designs don’t develop overnight, but take nearly a year of planning and production! Join us as Cheekwood’s Botanical Garden staff outlines the steps taken to transform the garden, choose the proper annuals, and adapt the design for Chihuly’s gorgeous glass additions. After lunch and a short presentation, an optional guided tour of the garden and screening of the Chihuly documentary Gardens & Glass will be available for those whose schedule permits.
