The series opens with Edward Lyon, Executive Director of the Rotary Botanical Gardens in Janesville, presenting Made in the Shade, and expert “how to” for shade gardeners. He explains that mature gardens can be problematic – you may have begun with full-sun perennial beds, but the trees you nurtured to maturity can now diminish the plants’ ability to thrive. He will offer us a variety of shade plants beyond traditional hostas and astilbes.
