What advantages are there to shade gardening?

Advantages to shade gardens

There are many advantages to gardening in the shade. Shade loving plants have a lower metabolic rate and grow at more leisurely pace than sun loving plants. Because of this, they require less water and fewer feedings. Without the bleaching rays of the sun, flowers emerge more slowly, last longer, and provide more vibrant color over a longer period of time.
