Sometimes as a garden developes you realize you have created a room, without even trying.
This is my shady spot to sit in the recesses of the dogwoods' cool shade.
I carved out a little cave and placed a wood barrel, then a few planters.
Never had luck growing coleus until I put it in full shade in my room under the dogwoods.
I even had plants (creeping thyme) hanging from the dogwood branches.
