Getting Excited about Shade

February 15, 2019 By Marianne Willburn

“Shade” is not easily boxed into neat categories of ‘full’ and ‘part’ – there are actually five different types of shade. Understanding them will allow you to plant based on what your plants need, rather than what you (and the nurseries) want them to need. There’s so much more to shade gardening than hosta and impatiens, and Marianne will guide you through some of the best plants out there. Soon you’ll be embracing your shady gardens for the lush, cooling spaces they can be.
