I really appreciate all of the ideas provided for a shade garden. It wasn't until we started really looking at our yard that we realized that so much of it was shade and partial shade. Thank you for the additional pdf downloads, too.
Thanks so much for watching! Glad we could share some shade garden secrets -- You can also download PDF's of additional shade garden information and the presentation slides here if you are interested: share.hsforms.com/1eE08t7n4Si-YKV4n5JRh2w4vne2
Shade gardens are my favorite gardens! It’s a shame that deer love so many common shade plants. Brunnera is the hardiest thing in my shade garden. It’s never eaten and it readily reseeds, true enough to type. Very worth planting. Ferns, monkshood, blue bells, woodland phlox, columbine and ajuga are also reliable for me.
Thank You James! I am in the PNW surrounded by beautiful trees in Portland. So I am a shade gardener also by necessity. You covered so many plants . I made a list of all the ones I still need to plant even after 20 years of shade gardening. Lot's of good info here. Happy Gardening to you!

Recently moved to a very old farmhouse that belonged to a gardener. The property is surrounded by mock orange and lilacs that are impossible to guess how old they are. They’ve weaved in and out of the trees and look fabulous. One large mock orange is in the middle of my yard by the garage. I have such a crush on this plant ❤️🥹 wanted to add that it lives happily with a huge lilac and they share the yard with an oak tree that is guessed to be well over 100 years old. Wild roses peek out here and there with one large bush near the tree line separating the spot where precious owners parked their rv. The more I explore, the more I find and it’s been fun. I have way too many raspberry bushes but the community usually picks them so that should be interesting 😅 Allegedly before I moved here, a certain neighbor decided to adopt all the perennial flowers, leaving behind one peony 🤷♀️
Thank you so much, James! Outstanding seminar! I live on the northern California coast and have a postage stamp area in which garden. I have challenging conditions regarding sun and shade. Your tips and information is most helpful. I do not have rabbits because we have lots of coyotes, bobcats and mountain lions. You would think with all of these predators dear would not be a problem… Nay, nay, the deer are unstoppable! The hooved marauders even chopped down my rhododendrons! I below for the gophers and create some artistic barriers to discourage the deer. Thanks so much for all of your helpful information!❤
I've got a shade garden in my back garden. In my shade garden: ferns, Solomon's seal, arum, primrose, crocus and a tiny bit of heather that snuck in there.
Thank you for this valuable information and professional presentation. This couldn’t be at a better time as I just started a new shade woodland area in my zone 6b garden.
I just received my coral bells forgot that I ordered it lol ,my Jack frost plant was attacked by bugs I tried using baking soda and it killed it also ,all I had was the picture of this plant, I decided to order some more this year so far so good, am also in love with Columbine I sow two different colours this spring, a mixed colour and a blue and white ones
I have bookmarked this video. Very informative. I have a large yard with evergreen hedge around that creates a lot of shades. I'll come back again to search planting tips and recommendation. Thanks.

Thank you for your time taken for producing this video. I live in the UK zone 8 and have a few of these plants in a small garden. Your descriptions and pictures are excellent so will be watching for reference. Do find Epimediums a little invasive though.
