Part Sun/Part Shade Gardens allow the homeowner to recreate forest edge environments commonly enjoyed while driving through state parks and wooded areas. While forest edges continually change, permanent versions can be created against a backdrop of an existing woodlot or property boundary.
Part Sun/Part Shade native plants are unique as they thrive in the variable environment that is both sunny and shady, hot and cool, dry and moist, and sometimes windy.
The Part Sun/Part Shade Garden also works where large shade trees create this type of environment. Bottlebrush Grass, Blue Woods Aster, Coneflowers, Trumpet Honeysuckle, Orange Fruited Horse Gentian, American Beauty Berry, Cranberry Viburnum are all plants that thrive in this garden.
These plants are also well-behaved and blend well with existing plantings and gardens due to their adaptability.
