Part sun can be downright maddening to plant—too bright for shade lovers, too dim for sun worshippers. But this 40'×30' formal parterre garden laughs in the face of fickle light. Designed to thrive in every version of “part sun”—afternoon sun, morning shade, dappled light, or morning sun and afternoon shade—it delivers structure, symmetry, and showstopping blooms that won't become leggy or scorch.
Perfect for east- or west-facing gardens, filtered-light yards, and those in-between spaces that never seem satisfied, this plan layers year-round evergreen architecture with bloom-heavy perennials built for moderation. The result? A garden that feels elegant, balanced, and effortlessly timeless—from the first flush of spring through the last whisper of frost.
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.
