Shade: Bloom Gardener's Guide: 2

"Shady plants deserve ambassadors like Susanna: someone who can view a dim corner as an opportunity rather than obstacle."
–– Matt Collins, Head Gardener at the Garden Museum

Work with the light, grow plants and flowers, bring dark corners to life

This handbook will tell you everything you need to know to make the most of shady garden spaces. Whether your whole garden, courtyard, or balcony is cast in shade, or you simply have a window box on a shadowy sill, Shade will inspire you to transform the space with lush and interesting planting that looks good (and is beloved by wildlife) all year round.

Rather than viewing shade as a gardener's "problem," this book shows how an area of shade can open up a whole new world of plants to explore, including:

• Delicate flowers
• Interesting foliage
• Handsome trees
• Vibrant bulbs

What's inside Shade

• Top tips on tackling all sorts of shady areas
• A directory of plants to dip into
• Pro advice on achieving year-round colour and structure

It's time to bring those dark corners to life!
