THE GARDEN NOTEBOOK

Welcome to The Garden Notebook

Every gardener keeps a notebook—scribbled with planting ideas, half-sketched border plans, plant names they swear they’ll remember, and the odd muddy fingerprint. This is ours.

The Garden Notebook is your companion to The Shade Gardening Podcast. It’s where stories grow alongside advice. Where we explore shady corners and the plants that thrive in them. You’ll find blog posts inspired by podcast episodes, practical how-tos, design ideas for dimly lit spaces, seasonal reminders, and reflections from a life spent gardening.

Whether you’re new to shade gardening or a long-time enthusiast, consider this your space to pause, learn, and feel inspired.

And like any good notebook, it’s always open—ready for the next entry.
