shade garden under trees
Rae Ann asks:
Question
I recently moved to a home that has a side yard with 20 or so maple trees. I would like to make the entire area into a shade garden (hostas, ferns, vinca and a stone path) Is this possible or will it harm the trees?
Answer
Sounds like a great place for a shade garden. If the trees are well established you may end up cutting some small roots when you put the new plants in the ground but there should not be any long term damage. You should give some thought mounds of soil or pots in addition to directly in the ground, it will add height and reduce the amount of digging under the trees.
