Shade Plant Experts

Throughout the Hudson Valley, landscapes are peppered with soaring pine trees, sugar maples, American mountain ash, and northern Red Oak. This makes for spectacular fall foliage, but it also means gardens dappled or drenched with shade for some or all of the day.

Many gardeners find shade gardens a particular challenge, and many people believe that hostas (often munched by the deer) are their only option. But at Victoria Gardens in Rosendale, there are literally hundreds of shade plants to choose from. The plants at Victoria Gardens are divided into sections by the conditions in which the plants thrive.
