Glorious Shade by Jenny Rose Carey

Glorious Shade by Jenny Rose Carey

This book was published in 2017 and has the subtitle Dazzling Plants, Design Ideas, and Proven Techniques for Your Shady Garden.

Jenny Rose Carey is a renowned educator, historian, author, and the senior director at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's Meadowbrook Farm in Jenkintown.

In their review of this book, Gardens Illustrated said,

"A practical guide to maintaining a shade garden with a useful calendar of seasonal tasks, plant directory, and inspiring design ideas.”

This book is 324 pages of plants, ideas, and tips - all shared with today's shade gardener in mind.

And I love what it says on the front flap of this book -

“Most gardeners treat shade as a problem to solve.”

This is sooo true.  

But Jenny, and many experienced shade gardeners, know that shade gardens don't have to be dark and boring.

Once you've mastered shade gardening, you'll wonder why you ever doubted the beauty and serenity of these cool, relaxing, and colorful spaces.
