The Science of Color<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

February 26, 202<\/em>7<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Gardens are all about color. From flowers to fruit to foliage, we gardeners select a palette of plants based on the colors we like, while excluding those we don\u2019t care for. But plants don\u2019t create color for our benefit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In this lecture, Dr. Ross Bayton delves into the science of color, revealing how plants produce it and how they use it to communicate.
