My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

ferns for drier area?

20 years ago

Any suggestions for ferns for a drier area? Almost full woodland shade, with nice houmus soil, but on a steep slope with tree roots, so it's not always moist.

Any ideas for ferns (or other pretty shade plants) that would do well in these conditions?
