Painting Your Garden with Plants: Shade: A garden shaded by trees or buildings is often a challenge for the gardener who is faced with low light levels, tree roots, and soil that is often dry. Through Nina’s
presentation, “Painting Your Garden With Plants: Shade,” we will discover solutions and ideas for artful plantings that can help us create effective combinations with optimal color, texture, and form. Take your shade garden beyond hostas with native wildflowers for spring and flowering perennials for summer and fall.
