Woodland plants
Wallis Creek Watergarden
Woodland plants are those that grow in the moist shade of trees and other plants in a community. Because many are happy in shady conditions they are good for older gardens where shade abounds.
There is a huge variety of woodland plants including, ground covers, flowering plants, foliage plants, tropical plants, seasonal herbaceous plants and native plants.
