CJ in my neighboring state of Iowa... Wow! Very nice shady garden. I like it a lot.
My gardens are fairly new. I'm starting my 4th year at our home. We began from scratch, with only 7 trees, no other plants of any kind. I've worked the soil and created new beds, with more to come!! I love shade gardens, and hope they look like yours some day! I'm working on it
I work for a landscaping co. so I'm always bringing home salvaged plants and orphans. Fun!
