When deciding on a new garden landscape, there are many types of garden designs to choose from. Depending on your needs and existing conditions, gardens can be made for privacy, relaxation, entertainment, play space, etc. The garden pictured below is a mature shade garden designed and installed in Lexington Massachusetts by the Moodscapes team a couple years ago.
This shade garden was designed with a variety of shade perennials and grasses, meaning they are all shade tolerant plants.
You can see:
-a mixture of Hellebor
-variety of Japanese painted ferns and Japanese grass (Hakonechioa macra)
-numerous types of Hosta plants
-perennial Geraniums (purple blooms)
-a few Heuchera 'plum pudding' plants
Shade garden designs are just one type of garden you can choose to have in your yard. For more information on shade plants in Massachusetts and choosing the right ones for your yard, read our article, What Are the Best Plants for Shade Gardens?
