Fern Garden
A tapestry of fronds—unfurling, arching, and dancing in the slightest breeze.
Why It Works
Different fern forms and textures create visual rhythm without needing flowers. Fine fronds contrast with bold ones.
Best For
Shaded borders, north-facing walls, under deciduous trees, or as ground cover in woodland gardens.
