Shady border in Kilternan

Garden after the planting - shade loving plants like Euphorbia purpurea, Fatsia, Begonia, and Dryopteris filix-mas

I really enjoyed designing and planting an area of Finn’s garden in Kilternan!

Finn wanted low maintenance plants, so I provided advice on plant selection to suit the shady conditions, as well as designing the planting scheme.

This area of the garden is quite shady, so I chose shade loving plants like Euphorbia purpurea, Fatsia, Begonia, and Dryopteris filix-mas (a native Irish fern).

These are all great, low maintenance options.

Below is the garden before the planting.

Below is a screenshot from the video of this design. I include videos in the planting scheme designs to help clients visualise how the plants will look in the garden a few years after the plants have established.
