Beginner Gardening: Future hosta/shade garden, 0 by MsKatt

For some reason, I've become hooked on hostas. We have "woods" on two sides of our property and they are "messy". There are downed trees, broken branches...you name it. This will be our 2nd summer here and we're trying to work on a portion of our yard at a time. Last year we put in raised beds for veggies and redid some of the front flower beds, trimmed/cut down tree, etc.

I started cleaning out the woods today. Talk about slow going! DH cut down some broken branches and cut up some trees that fell over the winter. This is where I'd like to put in a hosta/shade garden. I picture it being somewhat irregularly shaped and quite large. I'd like to put a bench and possibly a birdbath in there also. I still have so much work to do that I most likely won't even be able to plant anything in there this year!
