Love a little bit of everything in your garden? So do we! This 15′×20′ Sampler Shade Garden Plan brings together a rich mix of shade-loving flowers, shrubs, and foliage for a lush, layered look that lasts all year long.
Featuring astilbe, rhododendron, boxwood, lamium, and more, this design delivers color, fragrance, and texture from spring through fall—plus winter interest for structure and contrast.
Perfect for zones 5–8 and adaptable for zones 4–9 with substitutions provided, this pre-planned design helps you create a balanced, low-light cottage garden full of charm and sensory appeal.
Each plan comes with its own specific set of instructions, plant list, and scale.
The plans include one version with and without the scale overlay to make reading and planting a breeze!
The guides are self-explanatory and contain in-depth information about each topic.
