Shade Garden 101



We have a lot of landscaping to do with the new house. Thank God, we have Tim's parents. Tim's parents both worked for a famous local Botanical Garden. Tim's dad is a published botanist specializing in ferns and his mother is also an amazing gardener. They bring up carloads of plants from their garden and it has been an enormous help. We temporarily transplanted them until we could move them later when the house was finished. We are now ready to move the plants. We are starting a shade garden behind the house. Two of the staples in the shade garden will be two species of ferns - the Japanese Painted fern and the Ghost fern. Both ferns have unique coloring and are really hardy. We will mix them in everywhere.
