Having it ~made in the shade~ can sometimes be a problem as well as a godsend for the gardener. Lawns, roses, and some flowering plants may not thrive or bloom as well there as in full sun. But there are many foliage and flowering plants that absolutely love the shade. Learn what you can plant in different kinds of shade--deep, dappled, or something in between--and how to maintain your trees and landscape to keep the level of shade you want, whether your ideal garden evokes an exotic tropical jungle or an enchanting woodland forest!
