I really appreciate all of the ideas provided for a shade garden. It wasn't until we started really looking at our yard that we realized that so much of it was shade and partial shade. Thank you for the additional pdf downloads, too.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Glad you found the seminar helpful! Shade gardens can be an amazing oasis

[@highwayroadrunner206]

Wow! This is the most comprehensive and detailed list I've ever seen on the internet! Thank you for a fantastic video. Greetings from Greenville, NC.

Recently moved to a very old farmhouse that belonged to a gardener. The property is surrounded by mock orange and lilacs that are impossible to guess how old they are. They’ve weaved in and out of the trees and look fabulous. One large mock orange is in the middle of my yard by the garage. I have such a crush on this plant ❤️🥹 wanted to add that it lives happily with a huge lilac and they share the yard with an oak tree that is guessed to be well over 100 years old. Wild roses peek out here and there with one large bush near the tree line separating the spot where precious owners parked their rv. The more I explore, the more I find and it’s been fun. I have way too many raspberry bushes but the community usually picks them so that should be interesting 😅 Allegedly before I moved here, a certain neighbor decided to adopt all the perennial flowers, leaving behind one peony 🤷‍♀️

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Sounds lovely!

[@halleferrier28]

This was an outstanding amount of valuable information!! I will be rewatching it multiple times and taking notes!!!

Shade gardens are my favorite gardens! It’s a shame that deer love so many common shade plants. Brunnera is the hardiest thing in my shade garden. It’s never eaten and it readily reseeds, true enough to type. Very worth planting. Ferns, monkshood, blue bells, woodland phlox, columbine and ajuga are also reliable for me.

[@shelleymolinaro5866]

Thank You James! I am in the PNW surrounded by beautiful trees in Portland. So I am a shade gardener also by necessity. You covered so many plants . I made a list of all the ones I still need to plant even after 20 years of shade gardening. Lot's of good info here. Happy Gardening to you!

Thank you so much, James! Outstanding seminar! I live on the northern California coast and have a postage stamp area in which garden. I have challenging conditions regarding sun and shade. Your tips and information is most helpful. I do not have rabbits because we have lots of coyotes, bobcats and mountain lions. You would think with all of these predators dear would not be a problem… Nay, nay, the deer are unstoppable! The hooved marauders even chopped down my rhododendrons! I below for the gophers and create some artistic barriers to discourage the deer. Thanks so much for all of your helpful information!❤

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Thanks for the kind words, James knows his shade plants! So glad you found it helpful

[@lindadistel3643]

I am in TN, 7b, and heavy deer pressure. Love hostas and keep them in containers.

[@GardenGateMagazine]

Deer can be tough on hosts. Good idea to use in containers. Thanks for watching

I've got a shade garden in my back garden. In my shade garden: ferns, Solomon's seal, arum, primrose, crocus and a tiny bit of heather that snuck in there.

Sounds like a great group of plants for a shady retreat!

The most noxious weed that I have spent decades fighting is Sweet Autumn Clematis. It's fragrance is migraine inducing.

Too bad the deer love them and my entire hosta plants were eaten just few days after I planted a bunch!!😢

Deer are always a problem with hosta!

[@vickirose87]

They started munching mine so I put out stakes and string and sprayed them. Last year was the first the deer decided to eat them.🤷🏻‍♀️

[@emkn1479]

Yes they do! I use a homemade foul smelling spray to deter them.
