Hello!! I'm a new gardener and have a LOT of shade on our property. One of my favorite parts of our yard is the woods behind it. There is an old gravel quarry behind our house, and we have the same rocky features present here, but as a geo nut i love it and would like to showcase some of the gorgeous rock walls, natural and man made in our back woods, making a path to walk. I'd love to reintroduce some native shade plants, as well as a few others, but i'm not even sure where to begin! I'd like for it to look as though i haven't planted a thing at all, just nice, natural, maybe even a little wild! I'm not worried about deer resistance, or other pests, this garden is as much for them as for me. Bring on the deer, we love venison. ;) anyway I'd love to hear ideas for a nice native shade garden. So far i planted hosta 'sum and substance', bead fern, Noid fern, & some variegated solomon's seal. There is a lot of Solomon's seal already here.
Here are some photos
