Growing beautiful gardens in the shade is easy to do, but shade is a relative term. In the home garden or home site there can be many types of shade. The nuances of each type of shade are well known to experienced gardeners, but for newbie, it's important to learn about how shade is created, whether it's all day or just at one time of day, and the density of that shade.
