This has been in the works for quite awhile as I have been planning and storing for a new shade garden. I am excited to walk you through my plans and inspiration.

I love my Vego Garden raised beds!
I'm so excited to watch this form!!. The inspiration ideas for the entrance are fabulous.. I have a shade garden but it still needs alot of work as of now hostas a lilac tree/bush some dipladenia are all I have
I wish you all the best on this project. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.
I love your inspiration pictures I can't wait to see you bring them together. Shade / Secret Gardens are so much fun. Hoping to get a few ideas from you. Love that FB marketplace iron planter ๐ชป๐ชด๐ค๐ชด๐ชป
โIf you can get it now, itโs free…โ (sound of screeching tires)
Also, shade with decent soil means slugs and snails feasting on my hostas, heuchera, toad lilies HOWEVER, not one hole in my Astilbe, vinca (Veronica), Liriope grass, Ajuga (any kind), Begonias in pots because they are shade divas or Japanese Andromea (but that has to be treated every year for lacewing damage if it gets too dry). 6b Go Huskies!
Ohhhh exciting. This is gonna be. A great place to chill, don't forget a comfy seat . My Arbor is my favorite. You'll love it.
I really love shade plants. My Solomon seal is amazing, and great for cut flowers. It'll be fun for you to try some new plants.
So exciting to see your shade garden coming together!!! Love the pieces you found โคโคโค
Oh, don't paint the garden table…it's so charming. Once you clean it up and sand it will bring on a vintage look. I can't wait until you bring all the plants in for the shade garden.
I love the look of the old doors.
Yes, you are starting your shade garden. I love the potting table. I am excited to see what you do with this space.
Sounds like a great project and your inspiration photos are fabulous. I have a very heavily shaded, lush garden and also a lot of damp shade. There are an amazing number of great shade plants and I've enjoyed creating my own secret garden. May not work in Texas but I use a lot of moss. Love the plant stand. You certainly find some wonderful vintage pieces.
Nice
Living in a new build neighborhood means you have a full sun garden now. In 5 years it will be partially shaded and in 10 years it will be mostly shaded. Who ever said that gardening is a one and done experience???
New Dawn is a beautiful, fragrant climbing rose. It is a blush and would be a perfect complement to the shade garden
You always seem to get the best garden finds. I envisioned a garden arch there too. Bonny
If you are selling the Amazon BED – I will purchase it (them) from you?
Yeah can't wait for more. ๐thank you
Why don't you hang the planter on the wall and add shelving for storage to go with your rustic look
It has been a "minute" since you talked about putting in the shade garden. I'm happy for you that you're getting to work on it this year. I'm one of those who has a lot of shade but with that we deal with deer, so that's a challenge since hostas (shade living) and deer get along waaaayyy too well!! They can take out a hosta in one browsing. Now I'm planting lots of different ferns, astilbe, and heuchera. Hey, and don't forget those double up begonias like sun or shade to get your color on.๐
Can't wait to see your vision come to fruition.
Love the planter!!!!!
You are amazing! I can't wait to see what you design. I know it will be lovely.
Love that tiered planter!!!
Yeah I love that metal piece I'm the one that has 30 in New Kensington PA I bought I bought one hit for 60 bucks out of my phone keeps going off so if it doesn't look like it's right that's why okay talk to you later it's beautiful okay
You are so creative! Thanks for including the pics of inspiration and I appreciated your detailed explanation for your shade garden. Canโt wait to see the progress ๐๐๐๐
Going to be exciting to see how you develop this space
Itโs going to be lovely!
So excited to see you transform this area. I love shade gardens. I'm in Texas too so it's gonna be something I copy with plants with you on ๐๐ฟ๐
I canโt wait to see this evolve. I appreciate your patience with respect to budget and waiting for the perfect piece to be found. Will this remain the entrance for your mowers to use?
Those indoor pictures were great. Love that 3 tier planter! Try a Terry tennis cap to keep sweat out your eyes.
Iโm loving your vision for your shade garden.
I love all kinds of gardens but shade gardens have a special place in my heart โค๏ธ Greetings from far away Massachusetts
Love your inspiration photos! Great piece finds also. Excited to watch your journey.m
I cant wait to see the project lady. Excited
