  • Preparing soil for planting
  • The vast array of flowers and greenery that grow best in the shade

Druse writes in his introduction, "The garden of the future will be a shade garden. There are many reasons: fiscal, historical, environmental--and for the sake of our health and the planet's."

Perfect for new and seasoned gardeners alike, this wide-ranging encyclopedic manual provides all the information you need to start or improve upon your own shade garden.
