Maybe you had some sunny spots in your garden at one point, but those days are nothing but a beautiful memory as you keep adding more plants, and those plants keep growing up, and now you have, well, shade. As gardens mature, the shade they cast becomes increasingly pervasive, and this can leave gardeners feeling frustrated, stifled and limited. Well despair not! Whether you're looking to brighten up those cool corners or create an oasis in the gloom, we'll show you how to turn your shady spots into the most desirable locales in your garden. Join us for this special Midweek Program as part of our annual Day of Giving where our illustrious Horticulture Team will show off a bunch of cool plants that flourish in shady conditions. Embrace the dark side—it 's where the best plants are hiding!
