Woodland Shade Garden This landscape is designed to segue from your yard into abutting woodlands. It will enhance your property, reduce water usage and decrease the maintenance required if it were to remain a lawn area. The design provides a walking path and a sitting area to admire the beauty, color, fragrance and texture of plants chosen. The colors used in the design drawing indicate the actual color of the plants when in bloom. The plants in this design are well-adapted to shady areas. They are mostly native to New England, interesting throughout the seasons, resistant to dry conditions and are not appealing to deer (These are plants that are considered resistant to deer however there is nothing that is “deer proof” if the deer are starving). Before planting, make sure to enrich soil with compost, give plants a good drink after planting and mulch with shredded leaves.
