Description
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.

What To Expect
- Each garden contains starter plants in 4-inch pots.
- The plants will be small relative to their mature size and may not be in bloom.
- Occasionally things don't grow as planned. At times, we may have to substitute specific plants but we will always do our best to maintain the color and feel of the original design.
