Description

This week in the shade garden, we’re taking a gentle stroll through the conversations that lit up the Facebook group—from clay soil challenges and shifting light after tree loss, to hosta care, Fatsia fascination, and just how many shade plants might grow in your zone.

We’ll dig into the quiet beauty of Spigelia, the mystery of Arisaema, and the real-life questions that so many gardeners are facing right now. We also explore what it means to garden with clay in low light—and why it’s not a curse, but a slower kind of magic.

Plus, a peek behind the scenes: new members, new spaces, and bringing everything together under one roof at MarcusBergin.com.

If you’ve got shady corners and clay underfoot—or just need a little encouragement in your garden this week—this episode is for you.
