Do I have a Shade Garden ?
Have you ever brought home some beautiful plants from the nursery, planted them and watered and cared for them just to watch them die ? The problem may be simple in that they are not getting enough sun light. Some plants require more light than others. Best mower for a small yard.
You have two options - 1) get rid of whatever is causing the shade, or 2) use shade plants and trees. These are plants that do particularly well in a shaded environment. That's where we come in.
Full shade is a term used to describe a garden that receives no direct sunlight whereas partial shade is a term used to describe an area that receives less than five hours of direct sunlight a day.
