Shade Garden Plans

When creating a garden for a shady space, most people have trouble selecting the right plans. It is probably the most important thing when planning a shade garden, how to choose plants that will grow well in shade. Many times, you put a lot of work into a nice garden plan and the plants don't thrive, and die within a short time. This is usually due to either not selecting the proper shade loving plants, or not preparing the soil properly. Care after the soil has been prepared properly and the right plants for a shade garden, is a minor reason that plants die after planting. Many north facing gardens have mostly shade due to a structure shading the afternoon sun. Your garden can also be partially shaded during parts of the day.
