A shade garden is a type of garden designed to thrive in areas with limited sunlight. These gardens are typically located under trees, near buildings, or in other shaded spots where direct sunlight is minimal. Plants chosen for shade gardens are specifically selected for their ability to grow well in low-light conditions, making them ideal for these environments. Common plants found in a shade garden include ferns, hostas, and astilbes. These plants often have unique foliage and vibrant flowers that can brighten up darker areas. A shade garden can provide a peaceful retreat and support local wildlife, such as birds and butterflies, by offering shelter and food sources.
