Presentation Topics: By Chris Olsen

 

“Jealousy in the Garden is a Virtue” Don’t be shy and reserved but instead be bold, loud, and creative when landscaping your home and garden. Life is so stressful; therefore we all need our gardens to become our safe havens that are a total reflection of our true inner selves. Learn how to combine Chris’s design principles along with his design elements that will create that perfect retreat you so deserve. “WOW” yourselves as well as others……. Dear to be different……..and make your home and garden the envy of your neighborhood.

“Jhemajang and POP!!! The Perfect Garden Combination” Art is so subjective. Art can be a collaboration of unique, old, and new treasures. Jhemajang is the mixing up and arranging of different elements, both garden and unrelated, in a funky way that blends pieces into a harmonious grouping. So go ahead and clean out that dusty, dirty corner of your garage and search for those forgotten items that you can jhemajang together to create an eye catching display. Let Chris show you several different possibilities and combinations to beautify your landscape and patio.

“Border Patrol” If you are like Chris, you are addicted to plants. Plants are his life!!!!! To a person with a plant addiction, open space in the garden is wasted space. Exposed areas of mulch are ideal areas for additional plants. Most of us neglect that space up front along our flower bed borders. Border plants usually are the most interesting, and therefore demand up front attention. They visually are noticed up close and personal. Border plants can be perennial or seasonal. Besides using plants, dress up a border with collectibles such as old antique watering cans. Chris will entertain you with cool and “one of kind” ideas that will give your yard a great and lasting first impression.

“Color Your World” Life is too short for drab!!!!! Spice up your garden with vibrant colorful plants that will turn a cloudy day into a cheerful and joyful occasion. Color is impulsive, primitive, advancing, positive, and just plain refreshing. Chris is best known for his use of color in the garden. Never be afraid to express yourself through color. Chris will teach you how to add color by several different sources: annuals, perennials, and vibrant foliage plants. The combination of all three will “color your world”.
