My shade garden is the only garden at my house. We only have two small flower beds in the front (A little space on the side if I get creative). We are surrounded by trees, so there is only shade really.

Still, I have many exciting plants on the way here soon to add. Finding different plants for the shade has been a fun challenge.

I just recently became interested in gardening, so this soil has had several years of leaves fallen and left there. Our soil is in great shape. Tons of earthworms.

An outdoor organic garden located in Mount Gretna , United States, Spicy's Shade garden currently contains 23 plants.

This is a Shade garden that is known to be in USDA Hardiness Zone 7. It has mainly Combination soil and receives Dappled Sun light.
