Creating Beautiful Landscapes under Mature Trees

Taught by Harriet Cramer, Garden Designer and Writer
Learn how you can create and sustain a lush, healthy, and beautiful landscape in the shade of mature trees. In this class we will examine one of the most common, yet most challenging of all landscape situations. Limited light, compacted soil, intense competition for nutrients, and less than ideal air circulation— these are only some of the obstacles to creating a beautiful garden under large, old trees. We will discuss how to successfully deal with these obstacles while ensuring that the plants you are planting under the trees will remain vibrant and healthy. You will learn what you need to do before you plant, the diversity of herbaceous and woody plants and bulbs that you can use, and the ongoing care needed to ensure that your shady garden remains attractive for many years to come.
