The "Springy Chairs"This is a shade garden, named for the two chairs from mom and dad, where we sometimes sit for coffee, snacks, or both, or for no special reason at all. It offers a nice view of the rest of the back yard, provides shade, and is the best place for enjoying the cooling breeze on a warm day.
It's been an evolutionary garden where we try new shade plants and the number of different plants in it totals about 14 or 15. The main stars are: several varieties of Hostas, Wood Ferns, a Holly Fern, Japanese Painted Ferns, Liriope, English Ivy, Dwarf Mondo, , and - for color - Dianthus and Coleus. Seasonal players are Crocus,
Jonquils, and Caladiums, and a Boston Fern. There's a Walkers Low, a couple Diascus, a Spike,and several others.
