The Shade Garden

shade website 2022

The Shade Garden is tucked between the Farmhouse and Enabling Gardens. It was created as a respite for the eyes from the riotous colors of the surrounding sun loving gardens. While many shade plants can and do flower, foliage color and texture play a greater role than they would in a sunnier location. There are 50+ varieties of shade loving trees, shrubs and perennials in this garden.
