Hi Owen:  Any thoughts as to how to create a wildflower yard in a shady area under large pine trees?

There are plants that can thrive in such conditions. They wouldn't be meadow plants of course, because meadows require half a day of direct sun but that doesn't mean you still can't get beautiful plants growing.  The trick is to match plants to your site's conditions, i.e. ones that prefer shady, acidic, conditions.  For instance there are ferns that would thrive there.

I never thought of ferns but you are right - they can be quite beautiful when massed together.

Thank you!
