Let's uncover the ways to beautify your garden's shady corners.
Inspiring ideas for shady garden corners
Make it a point of attention:
To cover the shady area of your garden, be sure to keep it nice and clean, and make it a point of attention. Make it an eye-catching, and attention capturing-point.
You might be thinking about how it can be the center of attention?
- You can install a sitting bench in that area, with some of the artificial flower pots on both sides.
- Try keeping a statue in that place, and also statues of animals like rabbits can be kept there.
- Use stones to decorate the shady areas by painting them in bright colors.
Use ground covering weeds:
To make the shady areas attractive and easy to maintain, grow some weeds that are vigorous and dense. Some weeds also have small wildflowers that look lovely when grown in a large quantity like potentilla reptans, scarlet pimpernel, hairy-bittercress, cornus canadensis common couch, etc. They will add amazing color to the dull and dark corners of your garden. Mostly, the flowers on weeds appear in the late spring season.
Remember, you can only grow weeds in the shady area where there is soil and plant the weeds that are shade tolerant. If you have a cemented corner/space then you must opt for any other way to cover.
Make a jungle-like environment:
Have you ever wondered to visit the jungle? Have you ever thought that this could be possible to have in your garden? Yes, it is.
You can make the shady corner of your garden look like a jungle. Only the need is to place some tall and small shade friendly plants, and also indoor plants can be kept there to make it look thicker like a jungle.
Placing some of the stuffed jungle animals, or artificial toucans propped on the branches of tall plants would be a great addition to make an enhanced look. This idea might look strange to you, but believe it or not the visitors would love it.
