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.
