A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach – January 17, 2022 – Ken Druse on Shade Garden AdviceA Way to Garden with Margaret Roach – January 17, 2022 – Ken Druse on Shade Garden Advice

<p>The other night I hosted an online class about shade gardening, featuring Ken Druse, whom I met in 1992-ish, almost exactly 30 years ago to the day, when I interviewed him on the publication of his book<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Shade-Garden-Ken-Druse/dp/0517580179"> “The Natural Shade Garden.”</a> In 2015, Ken wrote a whole new shade book appropriately called <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=the+new+shade+garden&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAlfqOBhAeEiwAYi43F-xGyungV-LnRvuqqSN-cjDBixG2FDRztzAkS33DGZVabI85nXQmkBoCJ-0QAvD_BwE&amp;hvadid=241622453692&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvlocphy=9003208&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=5765913785415929399&amp;hvtargid=kwd-343611481364&amp;hydadcr=15080_10343588&amp;tag=googhydr-20&amp;ref=pd_sl_890wij43y9_e">“The New Shade Garden,”</a> so I guess you can tell that shade gardening has been a consistent theme of his work in his own gardening efforts, and it's our topic today. </p> <p>You all know Ken, author and photographer of 20 garden books and a daring gardener and plant propagator. He spoke to me from his garden among the trees in&nbsp;New Jersey, to talk shade.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
