Perennially Yours Blog
Cool, soothing, lush shade gardens. They’re magical.
Unfortunately achieving these can be frustrating and elusive for many. Not any more. With the same straight-forward, cut-to-the-chase manner that I wrote my first book, The Ultimate Flower Gardener’s Top Ten Lists, I penned Top Tens for Beautiful Shade Gardens: Seeing Your Way Out of the Dark. 52 Garden-Transforming Lists, Money-Saving Shortcuts, Design Tips & Smart Plant Picks for Zones 3 – 7. This 192-page, soft cover book contains 52 top ten lists ranging from perennials, annuals, flowering shrubs, evergreens, ornamental grasses, bulbs and more that dance in the shade. 55-color photographs brighten the pages.
