Shade gardening
By Carl Wilson, Horticulturist, Denver Cooperative Extension Landscapes change over time and require renovation to remain beautiful. One condition that often changes within twenty years of planting a landscape is the degree of shade due to maturing trees and shrubs. The rest of the garden must change to keep up. While some plants do poorly in shade, many will thrive in these conditions. The best way to adapt to low light levels is to choose plants that do well in less light. While some plants thrive in light shade, others will tolerate partial or even full shade. The degree of shade in a landscape may change with the season. Areas in full sun in the summer may be in partial shade in spring and fall when the sun is at a lower angle in the sky. Available sunlight may sometimes be increased through selective pruning. While large shade trees are a valuable resource, removal of dead, diseased or structurally poor limbs can improve beauty as well as increase light available for plant growth.

by Marie Hofer, Gardening editor, HGTV.com Every summer a dear friend used to carry all her houseplants outside to a large table beneath a high-branched tree. There they obviously relished the occasional rainfall, bright light and who knows what else, because by the end of summer, they usually more than doubled in size. At the end of the summer she'd get them gradually being used to being back inside. The big outdoors is where plants prefer being--unless of course it's too hot, too dry, too cold, too wet, too windy, or too much of some other unpleasant weather condition. Indoor plants depend on you to furnish everything they need, including adequate water (but not too much), humidity (for some) and enough light. In general, light is the most common limiting factor for why plants don't do well indoors, so it's important to match the light needs of a particular plant with the amount of light you can offer it. There are plenty of medium- to low-light plants, so you'll have plenty to choose from. Then, also depending on the type of plant, there may be routine gardening chores you'll need to perform. We hope you'll find useful advice and guidance here:
