Welcome to the Shady Lakes Gardens website! We are a small garden devoted to shade gardening in all its aspects. We believe that we are blessed to be gardening in low light conditions so we try to make the most of every opportunity.

Our gardens receive no more than 3 hours of direct sunlight on any given day so we have risen to the challenge by incorporating many species of woodland plants and shrubs. Visitors will learn to use these plants in their home landscapes in our ever changing environments.

We have wonderful flowers in our gardens from April through the first heavy frost in November. Our daffodil display is second to none in this region of the country. We have nearly conquered our poison ivy problem so there is no need to bring along your lotions as in the past. Visit us to find out everything you need to know about the shade.
