If you're lucky enough to have a big, old,
deep-rooted tree, such as an oak, in your backyard, you have all sorts of shade
garden options. This garden uses shrubs and perennials for an understated
beauty that peaks once in spring and again in late summer or early
autumn.
Featured plants include ligularia, hosta, toad lily, astilbe
and many more great plants.
