Landscape Garden Ideas-Shade Garden Designs

TODAY'S VIDEO
I hope you have been enjoying our series on shade. Today is design #2 & 3. I will take you through the designs step by step. One is the front of a house and one is in the back of a house. The design software I used is called PRO Landscape. It is a professional software program that I used when I was a landscaper. I am on the hunt for a good homeowner app or software for all of you, so hopefully I can find one for you. I hope you are inspired by today's design! If you have not seen the first 5 videos on shade perennials combos, shade conifers, shade flowering shrubs and shade perennials, and shade design #1, please feel free to check them out!

A+ on your friends home! They must be over the moon with your design!

Michelle, you are so fun and full of energy! Love your designs and frank discussion about what works and what doesn't. Shade garden ideas are great. So few channels discuss the challenges and opportunities with shade gardening. Would like to see shows devoted to specific exposures (Northern, Eastern, Southern, Western) since each has unique challenges depending on wind, sun, & space.

It's a great channel, Michelle, so educational and happy.

Love both designs. Looking forward to the under trees shade design as that is what I have. I’m in zone 5, unfortunately not close to you…Mississauga Canada. I learn so much from your videos.

Another great video! These design videos are super helpful. Although there are a bazillion gardening videos on YouTube what I think makes yours stand out is the detail around how you select plants and then seeing how the design will look at maturity. Keep them coming!!! A potential topic for the future 27:06 is landscape lighting. Also how you approach irrigation. Love your channel 💜

Beautiful designs! Love the shade garden.

[PeggyMills]

Loving all these designs, Michelle. Cold and rainy again here, I’ll get you the sidewalk pic very soon. So, so glad you’ve picked up new subscribers. You’re the best and definitely the most fun!

I hadn’t heard of some of these plants - they are going to be so fun to watch grow with every season interest! I can’t wait to see them go in the ground !

Beautiful!
