Island Beneath a Tree Garden Plan


If you're lucky enough to have a big, old, deep-rooted tree, such as an oak, in your backyard, you have all sorts of shade garden options. This garden uses shrubs and perennials for an understated beauty that peaks once in spring and again in late summer or early autumn.

Featured plants include ligularia, hosta, toad lily, astilbe and many more great plants.
