"Shady plants deserve ambassadors like Susanna: someone who can view a
dim corner as an opportunity rather than obstacle."
-- Matt Collins, Head Gardener at the Garden Museum
Work with the light, grow plants and flowers, bring dark corners to
life.
This handbook will tell you everything you need to know to make the
most of shady garden spaces. Whether your whole garden, courtyard or
balcony is cast in shade, or you simply have a window box on a shadowy
sill, Shade will inspire you to transform the space with lush and
interesting planting that looks good (and is beloved by wildlife) all
year round. Rather than a gardener's "problem", an area of shade can
open up a whole new world of plants to explore, from delicate
flowers and interesting foliage, to handsome trees and vibrant
bulbs.Shade includes top tips on tackling all sorts of shady areas, a
directory of plants to dip into and pro advice on achieving year-round
colour and structure. It's time to bring those dark corners to life!
