Exterior Grow Lights

**P* G* <p*@landscapedesignstudio.com>**

Hello All, and Happy New Year!
Have any of you ever used grow lights in the landscape for sun-challenged areas?
I have a design challenge to create a garden in a focal area of a contemporary-style home that is a 12’x6’ area surrounded on three sides by large windows of the home and a deck on the fourth side. Its a spot that is visible from all sides and viewed at a distance from some areas inside the home, but close up at lower level windows. 
In effect its a window-well area that will receive about two hours of midday (East-West orientation)sun. I’m considering mosses, ferns and other deep shade plants for sure, but wondered if I could enhance the growing possibilities by adding exterior grow lights. 
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences.

Thanks,
Phyllis
