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...

Thanks....I did try uk.rec.gardening once but my post got lost in
amongst thousands of troll messages - I never went back....is it quieter
now?


Quieter, but by no means troll-free. For reasons best explained
by the British URG is massively attacked now and again. Still,
it is a very knowledgeable source for our gulf stream influenced
climes. Sometimes advice from this americanocentric group
does not apply well to the UK or even northern Europe.

The links are good - the RHS one I think will be of great value not just
for this question but for the rest of the garden as it develops - Can't
think why I didn't think of it as I've got a cousin who works at Wisley
and if asked I'm sure would supply me some plants...


Indeed, RHS is always a great source. Also for finding plants using
their "plant finder." I live in Normandy, but there are many species
unavailable here that can be ordered from the UK.
