April 13, Dry Shade Plants—One of the most challenging gardening conditions is dry shade. Extensive root competition and canopy coverage from large, established trees is often the culprit, but urban settings with too many moisture-robbing impermeable surfaces, or covered locations that cannot benefit from natural precipitation can often be to blame as well. No matter the cause, dry shade can thwart even the most experienced gardeners. Join us in discussing tactics to encourage more successful growth and the plants best suited to these difficult sites.
