Gardening in the Shade

Have you been looking outside lately and wondering if there is anything you can do to spruce up your shade garden? There are plenty of shade garden flowers and decor to add to your outdoor space. Your garden or patio may not receive direct sunlight or only receive partial sunlight during the day due to shading from buildings, trees or patio covers. Do you think that you cannot have a colorful and beautiful garden? Don’t worry! Here are some plant and garden decor ideas for a lovely shade garden.

Marble Tile Flooring Shades and Colors 

Choosing the right plant for a shade garden is very important to the survival of the plant. For success, choose only those flowers that grow well in the shade netting. Some colorful shade garden flowers that do very well in the shade are fuchsias, azaleas, begonias, gardenias, camellias and impatiens. Plants that will add some greenery are mosses and ferns. These plants will grow well in hanging baskets, pots, window boxes and, of course, beds. Give each plant plenty of room to grow and spread its roots.

Nets Shades and Clothes

Add decor throughout your garden or patio. Here are some decor ideas that delight the senses: sculptures, birdbaths, bird feeders, windmills, gazebos, wind chimes, steps and water features such as a pond or fountain. Watch the birds fly into the bath or feeder while listening to the murmur of the fountain or musical wind chimes. All these ideas will beautify your shade netting garden and also make an attractive meeting place.

Choose comfortable furniture designed for outdoor use. Make sure you add a shade netting bench or seating area so you can relax and enjoy your new paradise. There are many types of outdoor furniture to choose from, including stone and wooden benches, group seating such as chairs and sofas, or patio tables and chairs. A beautiful gazebo with a bench under it will be an attractive focal point in your garden, as well as another place to relax.
