It is possible to brighten up those shady spots in your landscape. It is all about proper plant selection, planting, and care. Start by evaluating the sun and shade patterns in your gardens. Monitor the amount of sunlight different areas receive throughout the day and at various times of the year. You may be surprised the space gets more sunlight than you thought.
