We have alot of new starts of our Rose A Sharon if you would like that we can donate and since I'm in the woods in a way(front has 2 large trees) it is use to shade but it gives wonderfull color flowers and it doesn't need tending. It will be either white ,purple or pinkish purple. Just let us know.

Don't know how well they will do in the low-light situation.

Well Trevor they live in a low light situation here at home and getting many new starts to the point they are taking over the front flower bed. True it took a few years for them to flower but now they are wonderful. But my advise just plant and forget about them and see, thats what we did

That's cool. I've always read they prefer sunny locations. That is where the ones here at home are, and they seem to thrive in it. About 15 feet tall now, and I planted them about 8 years ago.

I think we'll try them right at the entrance to the path where they'll get as much sun as possible and see how they do.

And just so you know. I haven't been ignoring the garden with my pictures. I just haven't been able to get any shots that are usable yet. Always too dark back there when I try.

It's also been very wet. That's not helping either.

Sorry to come so late to the discussion. Bunny talked to me about the garden early this spring. I made some notes on horticulture/design. So far I haven't even gone to see it, but I will this week. I'd be honored to serve as Hort consultant for it. I can get several kinds of ferns, hostas, and other woodland plants and plant them. I can also get some azaleas and rhodos that would thrive there, for very little cost, and donate them and plant them, but maybe not until fall. I can donate several varieties of hostas.
A naturalistic woodland garden can be subtle, beautiful, and serene in late summer. Sadly, most of the plants that would bloom in that setting will bloom in spring. But it would be magnificent during the time when you volunteers are out there pre-faire, which is really special I think. For spring, trilliums, spring beauties, violets and jack-in-the pulpit would be stunning. For summer, maybe foam flower and snakeroot and nettle and hosta.
So let me take a look, get some ideas, submit them to BB, and get my shovels working again. You might have suspected that I LOVE to create gardens, and I have sources for free or nearly free plants, flowers, and shrubs. And I am a formerly professional naturalist who knows nearly every woodland plant that grows in Ohio.
More later. . .or contact me. . .
