Shade Garden

California may be the land of sunshine, and because of that most gardeners are always looking for a patch of shade. I like a diverse selection of plants in a garden and this requires both sun and shade. I also like to work and be comfortable so a sunny spot in the cool of the morning and a shady spot for the afternoon seem just about right. I plot my tasks so that as the shadows move I can arrive at the plants that need tending when the shade is there. The first plantings in a new landscape are the trees. They take the longest to get going and to provide their shade. The comfort of a garden in the shade is enhanced by the all of the evaporation taking place when the plants transpire. On a hot day in the desert you can often feel the water droplets falling from a Cottonwood. A shade garden can feel 10 degrees cooler than the surrounding sun filled air. Walking from a sunny street into a shaded garden can make you feel as if you were transported to a different place entirely.

When trying to escape the tension of the city, a trickle of a fountain and lush surrounding foliage, and you can relax. One of the more difficult aspects of working with shade is in those parts of the garden that get only partial shade. For the sake of this list plants have been included that will tolerate half sun and shade and still flower well. Some of these plants may even tolerate full sun near the coast but for inland gardens appreciate some protection from the afternoon sun. A mixture of sun and shade is great for attracting wildlife. A number of vines do best with their roots in the shade and the tops of the plants reaching for the sun.
