Mimi,
Have you considered native plants for your dry shade area? While the natural
landscape of Nebraska is mostly sunny western plains and prairies, there are
also dry shaded areas so there must be plants that are adapted to them. If
you are not familiar with Nebraska natives, I am sure you can get information
from the state's department of natural resources and department of
conservation. Those departments here in Missouri publish many great
inexpensive and free books and booklets on our native plants. One of my
native landscaping books lists Bluebird Nursery, P.O. Box 460, 519 Bryan St.,
Clarkson, NE 68629, 402/892-3457 as a mail-order source for native grasses,
shrubs, trees and wildflowers. It says they have a free catalog and on-site
demonstration gardens.
Native plants often thrive where more civilized cultivated plants suffer. A
native theme garden can easy to care for as well as lovely and interesting .
