Creating lush and vibrant gardens in the shade tends to frustrate even the best gardeners. How do we infuse more color, adventure, and intrigue into those spaces? The mood, plants, and conditions act as our guide. This workshop on August 22 from 1 – 4 at Garden in the Woods in Framingham blends site-specific assessment, design strategies, and plant options to help enliven your imagination. Bring your project to participate in a flash design collaboration.
