Shade Gardening: shady problem, 0 by Weerobin

Hi, speedie.
My gardening is almost entirely in woodland.
I think the keys are to clear out the invasive volunteers which choke out all the native plants.
And to plant some shade-tolerant shrubs to give the woodland some structure.
(Viburnums, rhodies, etc)
Clearing out the choking clog (for me, eurasian honeysuckle) can be a chore.
But once it's gone, my woodland sprang to life without planting anything.
Here are some pictures of a woodland full of phlox that I never planted.
It wasn't there the previous summer when it was filled with honeysuckle scrub.
There were also wild trilliums, mayapples, celandine poppies... miraculous.
I say, let mother nature do some of the work!
