Shade Garden Plans

shade garden

Shade gardens are gardens planted and grown in areas with little or no direct sunlight during the day, either under trees or on the shady sides of buildings. Shade gardening presents certain challenges, in part because only certain plants are able to grow in shady conditions.
an area that normally receives less than 2 hours of direct sun daily in the summer. The types of plants that will thrive in this setting are determined based on the amount of filtered and direct sun that reaches the ground.

West Garden – Eastman House

A look at the west garden at the George Eastman House. The west garden, originally called the sunken garden, was designed by architect Claude Bragdon and built in 1917. It was modeled after an English walled garden designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. It was built on the site of the Ross House, which Eastman had demolished after purchasing the land west of his existing property. The north and south retaining walls were built of stone from the Ross house. The garden consists of a stone garden house, with a tiled wall fountain featuring a small lion’s head. The structure still supports Eastman’s original wisteria vines and offers visitors a shaded spot with benches upon which to to rest. The north and south garden borders and four central beds once held a profusion of perennials and bulbs. An armillary sphere, a sculptural model of the celestial spheres, was placed in the center of the garden. Designed by American sculptor Paul Manship, it is composed of interlocking rings that indicate the location of imaginary circles such as the meridian and the tropics, and also functions as a sundial. Eastman originally purchased this in 1921, and Lawrence Grant White of Mc Kim, Mead & White designed a granite base for it. In 1936 the garden was altered using Robert Chamberlain’s design recommendations. The central flower beds were replaced with turf and the raised beds at the perimeter of the garden were retained as floral features. The west garden was again redesigned in the 1960s by Nancy Newhall. The geometric beds of turf and the flagstone walks were removed. in 1983 & 1984, the Rochester Garden Club sponsored the partial restoration of Bragdon’s original plan. The discovery of Bragdon’s original garden plan, together with historical photographs, enabled landscape architect Katharine Wilson Rahn to facilitate an authentic restoration of the garden layout. Original walkways and bed configurations were accurately restored, ornamental shrubs were substituted for many flowers that once bloomed in the garden in order to ease the demands of the Museum’s grounds maintenance.
