We will be in touch
I've got a shady half of the garden and I was wondering if anybody knew of any nice looking plants that will grow there? Lawn definitely goes not work, already tried 'shady specific' grass.
Hostas are great for shade. Get a few different ones for variation.
The ones with the vareigated foliage are best - that way you get decoration all summer, instead of just when they flower.
Nice one! Will def try those..
Only thing about hostas - slugs love em'.

Not my garden (too lazy to upload pics from phone) but I have two in a spot that hardly gets any sun, and they seem to love it
Japanese Acers prefer sheltered, shady places, and they'll give you a lovely display of autumn colour as well.
Yes, I'd heard that about Hostas. Worth a try though. Gonna look into Japanese Acers too...
Mine are pretty much unscathed by slugs to be honest.
Unlike the tulips 👿
Ferns!
Good suggestion - I'm planning on getting some small ones to interspace the hostas.
Also planning some anenome bulbs - some of them are pretty shade tolerant. Honeysuckle is also quite good - it loves having it's roots shaded, but it will try to launch a hostile takeover bid on your whole garden if you don't firmly tell it who's boss 😀
