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




Astilbe is real nice.


Yep, we have a few Astilbe and they are nice. Today we bought some
Lamium ('Pink Pewter') and it looks like the foliage will really look
nice in the shade.
