Well Chicago gardeners----when can we see some 'before and after' pics? Or at least some before pics? Your projects sound fascinating and exciting!

Love your plant list--you have some interesting additions to your garden--and please try the ferns--very fashionable these days--and you can be a trend setter on your block!

Here's a pic of part of the shady section (the foreground) we are working on--just bought some ferns and a 'Jack Frost' Brunnera to put in near the Oak Leaf Hydrangeas..

Some pics of your projects, please?!
