A shaded space can vary from a bright border with a little morning sun to a darker area beneath trees. Before choosing plants, observe the light and check whether the soil tends to stay damp or dry.

Link shade planting with spring colour or a wider cottage garden scheme, and visit our qualified horticultural team in Clondalkin for help choosing the right combination.
