Shade Gardens

A moss covered bird bath surrounded by hosta and boxwood makes a spectacular garden focal point.

This 8 foot teak bench is nestled into a shade gardens under river birches (Betula nigra) and a redbud (Cercis canadensis). The p-stone path allows the gardener to stroll from the house and sunny lawn into a protected shaded nook to relax and enjoy the garden.

In areas where lawn just isn't the right ground cover, but you still want some ability to walk through, use stepping stones and low interesting ground cover plants in order to get the best of both worlds - plants and passage!
