About How to Be Cheerful About Shade - Stillingfleet Lodge Gardens

By popular demand, we are delighted to offer this inspiring course again in 2026, inviting visitors to discover the beauty and potential of gardening in the shade.

This course is led by garden owner Vanessa Cook, who will share expert advice and practical tips for making the most of shaded areas. Learn which plants flourish in east and north-facing borders and beneath trees, along with techniques to improve soil conditions and help shade-loving plants thrive.

Ideal for garden enthusiasts and curious visitors alike, this engaging experience goes beyond practical instruction. Using the rich variety of shade-loving plants throughout the garden here, Vanessa will show you how to embrace and enjoy shaded spaces, transforming them into some of the most attractive areas of the garden. Whether you’re seeking inspiration or confidence in plant selection, this course offers a relaxed and uplifting way to see shade in a whole new light.
