Hi All,

I'm a newbie here but have been lurking for a few weeks....I'm in the
process of replanting part of my garden - it was ravaged by the dog over
the winter and most of the the plants have been destroyed (along with the
lawn). The dog has now been evicted from this part of the garden.

The problem that I have is that there are a lot of shaded areas and trees
in the garden and I'm trying to come up with some ideas for planting other
than Hostas...

I'm in the SE of England. The garden is West facing...

TIA
Gill


Also, the best book on earth for shade plants: The Complete Shade Gardener,
by George Schenk. Be careful. The book makes so many plants sound
interesting, you may need to take out a 2nd mortgage.
