Whether you own a garden in the shade or would like to create a cool, shady retreat, this book is essential reading. Practical advice is given on the management of sunless soils, the design of gardens in shade for maximum effect, and the selection of suitable plant species. Over 130 plants are described in detail, including ferns, bulbs, groundcovers and shrubs which thrive in shaded areas. Trees and climbing plants that give a dense canopy of shade are also covered.
