We all have one: that strange, dark corner in the backyard that doesn't get enough sunlight for our usual planting techniques. Luckily, there is a solution, and we found it in an archival photo of Jamie Lee Curtis's Los Angeles shade garden from 1978.
Rather than leaving the tricky area to dry up, the actress has built a stylish brick path and edged it with shade-loving plants. Jamie's combination of ferns and wax-leaf privet shrubs (like these plants from Amazon) is the perfect way to break up her terracotta hardscaping. The simple look is ravishingly eye-catching.
