Shade Garden

Shade gardens offer a calm, lush retreat—and prove that low-light spaces can still be full of life and beauty. In this category, I share how we’ve embraced the shadier corners of our property with thoughtful plant choices, layered textures, and foliage that thrives without full sun.

From hostas and ferns to blooming shade-tolerant perennials, you’ll find planting tips, garden design ideas, and maintenance advice for creating a cool, serene outdoor space. Whether you’re working with dappled light or deep shade, these gardens show how to turn challenges into charm.
