Don't Fight It -- Give in to Hellebores!

I have a lot of shade in my front and side yard - and long ago I learned to not battle the shade. There are some wonderful plants for the shade that can add color and much more.

I love hellebores because these shade lovers are early to bloom, lovely to look at and unique. Lucky for me there is a person in my area who loves hellebores too. She has created a wonderful small business promoting shade plants - and hellebores in particular. She hosts open house sales a few times a year and is offering a seminar next month. I will be attending a seminar on hellebores in a few weeks, and as you might imagine I will take pictures and video of the session.

If you are local - here is the info on the seminar. The details below came directly from the invitation.
