Brighten the areas of your yard receiving less sun per day with Native Shadows, our first garden for shadier areas with plants all native to our region. Native pollinators will delight in the bright and fragrant blooms that will thrive all season long in your areas of dappled shade. Designed by Desneige Sodano of Chickadee Pine Design, in collaboration with the City of Fort Collins.
