We had to get a few trees removed from our yard after a major storm two years ago. Now we don’t have as much shade and I am trying to find ways to add it without spending a lot of money. I was reading an interesting article and would love a mist garden, but I am also being realistic. http://www.chrisjameslandscaping.com/wp/how-to-create-shady-and-lighted-areas-in-nj-outdoor-spaces/ We bought an umbrella last year than blew inside out in a rainstorm – that was almost one hundred dollars down the drain. The temporary gazebos never stay in the ground throughout the summer, especially if a big wind comes along. My father thought it was funny to give me a hat with an attached umbrella but that won’t do the trick either. Do you have any ideas that won’t cost thousands of dollars? Thanks!
