The plants chosen were designed to demonstrate the abundance of varieties available that thrive in shady and partially shaded gardens. Multi-stem birch trees were used as the canopy layer and underplanting included a diverse range of ferns, herbaceous perennials, and shrubs. Swathes of vibrant blue Omphalodes and vivid pink Primulas stole the show with their dramatic colours. Vibrant green Viburnum opulus buds looked stunning set against a backdrop of fluttering Exochorda and delicate heart shaped Dicentra flowers. Delicate white Epimedium’s mingled with mixed ferns and Brunneras. Camassias punctuated throughout the garden with their dramatic purple flower spikes and the bees and visitors to the show flocked to enjoy.
