Garden: Judy and Jerry's Arkansas Shade Garden
This is a shade garden in the heart of Hot Springs Village. We moved here a few years ago and have gradually planted the surrounding land. My favorite are the hydrangeas my daughter sent me. I would love to change my hydrangeas to a bluer shade - if anyone has advice on how to do this, that would be great.
Garden: Posies and Pies
A tiny organic patio garden full of edible flowers, herbs and vegetables. The trailing ground veggies live in hanging baskets and I am training them to hang off the eves. The plants also provide shade for my apartment in the hot sun.

You can find me and my garden adventures at http://jellyfishbay.wordpress.com
For those that want more: Growing up in the "winter, water, wonderland" that is Michigan has made me appreciate the natural world around us. I maintain a hummingbird/butterfly garden at the local library through my volunteer hours as a master gardener and a tiny, urban flower garden at home - it is mostly shade but I have a few spots that get more sun.
Garden: Carol's Garden
I like to plant whatever catches my eye. I have two perennial gardens featuring oriental poppies, lilies, hostas, astibles, columbines,daisies,blackeyed susans,purple cone flowers. Just to name a few of my favorites. One garden gets full sun all day. The second gets the morning sun only and shade from the house for the rest of the day. Due to the fact that I'm on the lake I have to plant species that can tolerate the wind.
Garden: Eclectic Oasis
My garden has all the plants I love and more. Almost anything grows here on the coast. So I love to experiment. Make my own hanging baskets of impatients, these grow well in the shade that is my front yard and the deer don't seem tpo like them. Have a deer sprayer in the backyard because they just love roses and hostas.We totally redid the yard about 3 years ago and it's still evolving.
Garden: Sandy's Piece of Heaven
This garden has been in the making since 1989 and has had to adapt to increasing shade. It is mostly a perennial garden that keeps changing all spring, summer and fall. After daffodils and tulips are done, each season is dominated by one or several showy perennials: peonies and penstimon in June, lilies and shasta daisies in July, dahlias and phlox in August, asters and chrysanthemums in September. Every season also has minor players like coral bells, astilbe, delphinim, foxglove, lady's mantle and many others. I look for a range of colors and textures My preference is for flowers that are suitable for cutting .
Garden: Lisa's West Coast Canadian Garden
This garden is on a city lot located on the West Coast of southern British Columbia in Coquitlam ~ It is a small urban garden with perennials for sun and shade, native plants, vegetables and herbs, and a large deck garden with funky pots, a water garden in a half whiskey barrel, and potted shrubs and trees.
The garden is is located on a plateau several hundred feet above sea level, although the ocean is only a few miles away, so it receives torrential down pourings of rain in the winter, AND spring, AND fall. And it also freezes for at least some of the winter. Snow and prolonged cold spells have become common in the past few winters. In the summer, the climate is hot and mostly dry for one to two months per year, and the heat can come on very fast, with no transition time which is hard on the plants, and the gardeners. Other garden threats here include children's feet, soccer balls, and my husband's four wheel drive wheels.

More than 250 rhododendrons set the stage for complimentary plantings in both the shade garden and sunnier beds. The summer garden is a drought-tolerant collection of perennials shrubs and trees. Meandering woodland paths connect the 100% organic garden beds, providing a serene walk and a sense of spacious tranquility.

Garden: Featherwood House - Our First Garden
We bought a house in 2007. At the front was a porch that needed re-building, a narrow strip of earth enclosed by a cement wall that had presumably once been a garden, a cement walk, and grass. It was boring and not very "green".
We re-built the porch with wide welcoming steps using Trex composite lumber and a railing of salvaged spindles. We removed all the concrete and grass. Instead, we laid a curved flagstone path, which allows drainage. We turned the remaining space into a garden, planted with mostly perennials, and centred around a semi-dwarf cherry tree we planted in memory of my father.
The yard is about 17 x 23 feet, and it faces east, so gets early morning sun on all of it. But as the day continues the shadow moves from the house outward, so about half is a shade garden and the rest more sunny. All plants are easy-care, and we've incorporated a little companion planting (chives and alium near a rose bush, etc.), focused on native and drought-tolerant species, included wildlife friendly varieties, and mixed in a few edibles amongst the ornamentals. Compost enriches the soil, and leaves and natural wood chips are used as mulch in some areas.
We've tweaked it a little since the initial planting in the spring of 2008, moving and adding a few things. But generally the garden is thriving, and we've received many positive comments about it. In it's first year, we even entered it in the "David Suzuki Digs My Garden" contest, and won an honourable mention!
Garden: Shade Garden
Shade Hosta Garden, just learning all about Hosta's. None are named, but trying my best to name them.
Garden: My little corner of peace.
My garden is a mixture. The vegetables are grown in raised beds throughout the backyard with full to partial sun. I also have edged the garden with fruit trees, grapes and arctic kiwi, and I have a shade perennial garden that is fairly natural woodland. I mix wild strawberries in amongst the perennials and try to make my garden bird friendly. It is a totally organic garden complete with waterfall, stream and pond. We plan to add the mediterranean feel with stone pizza/bread oven and deck surrounded by herbs. My latest addition is the start of a butterfly/hummingbird garden.

Garden: Rough But Improving
South exposure but some decent shade behind the spruce.
Got a new place and had to start all over again. Some wonderful irises, thyme and a dianthus collection, many sale plants still in their pots, still yardstone to put out. Toddlers take up a lot of the former time and energy we had! At least there is some youthful enthusiasm for watering :)
An even rougher but larger backyard plot has blanketflower, raspberries, thornless thistle and deep-coloured delphiniums. Sea holly, usually a failure for the past many years, finally came back with a beautiful purple-blue sheen on the stems. Grass and willow invading; when will we have the time and energy? Trying to encourage a combo apple to grow.
Garden: Mom's Garden
I Love to grow any kind of flower if it will survive in my yard. Very windy, and full sun to part shade, mixed soil conditions.

My Garden has raised beds and a greenhouse. I have herbs, veggies, seeds, friuts and berries, flowers, grass and hedges. Full sun and Full Shade. A bit of everything. We use NO chemicals or commercial fertilizers. We compost. My kids and pets play everywhere. It's not always at its prettiest, and I neglect it sometimes, but it's mine and I love it. I get to share my bounty with family and neighbors, and growing my own food makes me feel good. I also have a greenhouse and started trying a technique to smother weeds with newspapers and cardboard this year...liking the results! When my kids are bigger I expect there will be even more to offer.

Garden: Rose's Balcony of Relaxation
We just moved to a new apartment. Eastern exposure, almost total shade, so the marigolds & Martha Washington geranium I brought with me are not happy! Neither is my succulent planter. So I guess next year, it will be lots of coleus (love coleus), impatients, begonias, ferns, whatever I find suitable, I guess. There's not even much light for my houseplants.
Garden: K's Horticultural Adventure
I've been flower and veggie gardening in this location for twenty years. Prior to that it was grow bags on the tiny back deck off the kitchen of our flat in Muswell hill, North London, UK.
Our back garden is quite large and dominated by 4 enormous and venerable old cedars who create areas of dry shade, partial shade and dappled sunshine. There are some areas which receive about 5 hours of sunshine a day so they are where we built the raised veggie beds. The front garden gets more sunlight and is consequently drier. The soil in the back garden is quite loamy in most areas. The front has been amended over the years with lots of compost, the back garden too. We have three compost bins.
I am an experimental gardener and garden organically. I haven't met a seed I didn't like and love to plant whatever seeds I come across. I am growing a persimmon in the front window. I also have a Cardiocrinum giganteum and Mecanopsis betonicifolia and other unusual plants. Happy gardening all!

I am also trying to build a Victorian Romance Garden with old varieties of roses.
Garden: My Heavenly Retreat
I just love my garden. I have a three dimensional garden with specialized plants in pots because of moles. I have made lots of focal points and I think its a garden that draws you to it. I sometimes wish it was more sunny but then there are so many beautiful plants that love the shade. My Hybrid Hibiscus Sinensus are truly rewarding when they flower. I have seven different named varieties. I also love hanging baskets even though they take a lot of extra care and water. I grow a lot of my plants from slips with great success. My worm bins keep me busy and they are very rewarding with the worm tea that I pour over my plants from time to time and they produce very good compost. I have great fun and am truly thankful to have a garden. God is good.

Set at the end of a mist belt, this north-facing sub-tropical garden is established with indigenous, mostly endemic trees, shrubs and soft plants.

Garden: Seaside Yarden
Our Yarden is South facing, but despite this, is in full shade most of the day. The high walls and bank provide most of the gloom, the rest is contributed by the house. All this enveloping shelter notwithstanding, the concrete square [resplendant with oil tank] is subject to fierce salt and sand laden sea breezes. A favourite haunt for the local tribe of ferral cats, the annually replenished container soil is a welcome addition to any natural kitty litter areas. Once the power washing has been completed in the Spring, and the last of the Winter's unidentifiable green scum removed, it is safe to venture outside and attempt to brighten this hard working space for the summer months. Alongside the minuscule shed, kick boxing bag, guinea pig hutch, clothes line, kayak/surf boards/bikes coal bunker/storage bunker and patio set, we like to grow some plants.
Garden: Lake Forest Park sun/shade mix

Garden: S & D's Little Acre
There are 4 micro climates on the property. The north side is shady except for the full sun on the strip of land we have expropriated from our neighbor. The back varies from full to dappled sun and is where we grow our vegetables and herbs. There will be a shade garden under the cedar trees. There are appx. 300 sq. ft. of soil to be enriched that was under the 50 year-old cement pad we removed last fall. The side strip to the south of the garage along a brick wall will hopefully produce a variety of vegetables--this is the first year. The front is the lovely flower garden established 3 seasons ago with a place for zucchini in the sunniest spot in the yard. It's a Little Acre in transition. Weather is still a bit cold yet.

The back garden is pretty small, about 45 feet square. It's split into areas, such as an Italian formal garden with clipped box and palms, a woodland garden with a pond, ferns and dappled shade, and a lawn with flowers and banans. There's also a patio with decking and a spa pool.
Garden: 7 Flower Garden beds
I have 7 flower garden beds and 11 window boxes. I also am starting a shade garden in the part/full shade in the way back of my yard. It is mostly tulips, lilies and hostas. That will take many years to develop.
Garden: Redeemer Community Garden
Local residents will be offered space to grow and harvest food for non-commercial use. Thirty plots, each 6'x24' will be ready for planting on Sat., May 15, 2010. One plot will be reserved for Redeemer's Preschool and five for families of an on-site Head Start program. Redeemer members will grow a plot to provide produce to a nearby food pantry and the Marion/Polk food regional food share. Another plot will be grown as a Redeemer CSA-type fund raiser (community supported agriculture) providing fresh produce to members of our church family and offer healthy cooking classes through our Parish Nurse program.
Our Mission Statement: The Redeemer Community Garden connects people through the joy of growing fresh nutritious food. Together we will learn to care for the land entrusted to us through environmentally sustainable ways which are pleasing to God and all His creation.
Garden: Wilsonville Community Garden
Wilsonville Community Garden is located within the city limits of Wilsonville, Oregon just off Wilsonville Rd. The garden is within the confines of Memorial Park. Currently there are 32 10' x 12' plots available at a cost of $12 per season as well as 8 smaller raised bed plots available at $16 per season. Gardeners are responsible for the upkeep of their plot. Unattended plots may be reassigned.
Organic practices must be followed. Use of OMRI listed products encouraged. No synthetic herbicides, pesticides, fungicides or fertilizers may be used. Use of tobacco is prohibited. No loud music within the garden. Hand watering only. No on-site garbage pick up.
The garden is in the infancy stages of expansion efforts that will triple the size to just under 1 acre. New gardens will work in collaboration with Wilsonville Community Sharing and The Oregon Food Bank encouraging food bank receipents to build community through local food initiatives, environmentally sound agricultural practices while educating fellow gardeners and the community at large.
The vision for the future is the garden as a hub indigenous, experimental urban agricultural knowledge, international cuisine, cross cultural exchange, local artistry, outreach, education and generally creative community building efforts. A local food system encompassing a weekend tailgate market of organically grown produce is the utopian goal several years into the future.
Garden: Salmon Creek Community Garden
The Salmon Creek Community Garden was founded in 2006 by a small group of committed Oakridge area citizens. It is a 2 acre parcel on beautiful Salmon Creek. The garden is divided into permanent infrastructure and personal plots. So far the garden contains pear trees, plums, cherries, an almond tree, apples, asian pears, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, a grape vine, artichokes, rhubarb and various native shrubs and wildflowers.
Garden: Fulton Community Garden
The largest Community Garden in Portland, Oregon, this site has 106 garden plots. There is a compost demonstration site and a childrens garden program area. The south and east sides of the garden are bordered by native plant habitats and a small rose garden on the west, with an ecoroof kiosk.
Garden: Eastside Community Garden
Eastside Community Garden began in September, 2008, with a grant from Oregon State Extension Services. In the vacant lot surrounding the Community of Christ church, 29 garden plots measuring 20 ft x 20 ft have been developed. Four foot wide paths between each plot are covered with heavy landscaping cloth. The yearly dues for each plot is $40. That money will help offset the cost of monthly water fees to the church. Grant monies will be used to purchase a watering system, seed, tools, and some fencing materials.
Garden: Keren's urban oasis
I replaced all of my grass - front and back yards - with flowers, shrubs, trees, ornamental grasses and interesting garden decorations, including a flagstone patio and a drystone wall in the back. It is an interesting blend of sun and shade, so the plants are incredibly varied and different, and I'm always adding, moving or removing to so it is always changing.
Garden: Biggest Little Community Garden in the World
The community garden is primarily a school garden. It is approximately one quarter acre in size on my property. I live across the street from a "high risk" elementary school in an urban neighborhood, approximately 1 mile from downtown Reno. The intention behind the garden is multifaceted. The focus is to support social wellness. We do this by partnering with the Elementary School across the street, other schools, community members, neighborhood residents and local companies.
We partnered with the University of Nevada Cooperative Extention, which included the school and garden in a grant to provide a program that meets the state standards of education called "Nutrition in the Garden" to the third and fifth grade classes. Through this grant, we also have three picnic tables and have created a Learning Center.
We have created a fun, eclectic garden by integrating the garden "opportunities' with the existing landscape. The garden has fruit and shade trees, flower beds, an herb garden, and vegetable plots. We have raised beds made from recycled goods, wood, rocks and straw bales. In our first year, we extended the growing season all year, with help from students from a Charter High School who built a hoop house for the winter months (normally challenging in the high desert, but we were very successful!).
Garden: Caro's Rondebosch Shade and indigenous
Garden at back has a large swimming pool surrounded by indigenous plans.It is in semi-shade for most of the year. Very few plants flower for long because of the shade (and two energetic dogs). Front garden is small, pretty, also indigenous but over-run by large shaded hedge and a huge exotic tree. we keep it colourful with wire flowers and animals, stones and succulents.
Garden: Mona's Garden
I have Hosta Gardens in heavy shade, a south facing hill garden that originally was to be a praire garden but now has lots of everyting including roses, lantana,annuals,lillies,iris,sedum,and side gardens with mostly roses.
Garden: Vivians Wild Garden.
This garden is evolving from full shade plants from my previous residence to plants that can handle the heat and full sun. But it's tricky because we have a mature Maple Tree that tends to shade different areas at different times of the day and compete with the plants for soil and water.
Garden: AJ's Garden
We've got a big garden with a wide variety of sun exposure, full shade to full sun. I'm just starting to work with roses, and have a small zen garden in the works.
Garden: Vinograd Kitchen Winery
A cottage come kitchen come winery garden. I have a small vineyard which yeilds 40 gallons of wine & some Rakia plus there are various fruit trees with which I compote & jam the fruit. Alongside this I grow veggies for freezing pickling & cooking. At the moment I am still experimenting which gives me the best yeild & use but Pumpkin, Garlic, Pepper, Tomato & Carrots are so far my best. I am trying chillies beetroots cuecumber this year but next will be bigger & better with beans squashes & melons corgette marrows & eggplants I may even try corn. I am starting to make chutneys too. I have been growing different lillies & this year had great success with huge Caster oil plants also smaller bushes of small red trumpet flowers which close when the sun goes down. I have wonderfull peonys clematis & Crysanthemums but stumped on what to grow in shade? I have lots of the preverbial geraniums which look gorgeous but would love some really smally flowers in the garden.
I tend to focus more on the food side of it till its too late for flowers.
Its very very hot in the summer & very very cold with thick snow in winter.

Garden: Tracee's Sunshine Coast Garden
This gentle garden is a combination of flowers, herbs, vegetables and a patch of coastal rain forest. I believe in companion planting as an effective way to deter pests and hand weeding opposed to herbicides. Relaxed gardening is part of my method, you win some, you lose some. The important thing is that you have fun and enjoy the journey. Gardening is Life.

I've been a master gardener for 10 years. I work with youngsters and try to pass on the joys of growing things. I also grow and maintain a butterfly/hummingbird garden at a local library. My own garden is a small urban plot in an old neighborhood. It is surrounded by large old trees so my gardens are mostly shade and partial shade, though I do have spots that get 2-3 hours of sun.

This is our fourth year here, and I am still trying out various plants in various sites, both perennials and annuals, to see what likes being in which garden, all of which get varying degrees of shade. Herbs are also a favourite, and I've begun to grow some tomatoes and hot peppers. A "temenos" is a parcel of land reserved as a sacred retreat, and this is my experience of my gardens, inclusive of hard work, meditation, joy and relaxation. Montreal's summers are short; our gardening months are intensive and celebratory!
Barb's Blooming's
When I began the hillside garden in 1998, I placed a small garden shed on the highest spot on the hillside. Then began the dedicated process of tiering the groundsite, and building on my vision, first shrub's were raspberries, first tree...apple...then came the peony's and lilies, and from that I began to build. Hillside faces south, so there is sun, somedays very hot sun, all day long...three shade areas have been created and four levels. A spectacular view! With farm fields, oilfield sites, acreages and the city in the distance. There is no electricity, my water source for the most part was held in large tanks, accessed by 300 feet of garden hose. The water warmed was delivered to the base of the plant. My second source is Mother Nature, the best kind! I love designing the hillside, and taking photo's and sharing with my gardening friends! another passtime is writing poetry about my garden. I entertain many friends and family at the garden site as well as strangers that stop by just to enjoy. I have 11 different berries, and enjoy picking and making jellies as gifts. I planted a vegetable garden for 36 years, now just enjoy the trees, shrubs, and flowers for the bees, birds, and butterflys.

I love to garden. Come spring, all the books and seed catalogs come out and the planning begins (again!). My garden always seems to be a work in progress especially this year as our 27 foot pool sprang a leak. New gardens and sod had to be laid. It was a VERY busy spring.
The native Garry Oaks provide sheltering shade for a collection of species and hybrid rhododendrons that speak to the age of the garden. So
From front to back: Herbs, Rhubarb, Peonies, Rhubarb, Greenhouse with Tomatoes and Carrots, Lettuce in shade of shed
My North facing bed, very wet from the shade and shed runoff, the Raspberries and Strawberries are LOVING it! I got 38 plants last year fro
One of the hostas. I love these plants they are one of my favorites, they grow in a great round forum and grow to a great fill in size. There are so many varieties I could never get bored of them. Great for shade, they hate the strong afternoon sun.
Poppies come late in June. I used to have many poppies but because the trees behind and to the east of the garden have created so much shade, now I only get a few to bloom. Still the color is worth waiting for.
Stunning black and white Oriental Poppies in the bed in front of the house. I excitedly planted the purple variety, Patty's Plum, on either side of this one, but they don't compare in exuberance, at all. I plan to move them to the western bed to be tucked in next to some day lilies to hide the dying foliage, and receive more shade. Hopefully that will enhance the purple in the one remaining Patty's Plum. The purple colour in full sun has been a disappointing shade of puce. (One plant-loving neighbour even suggested she would refuse to have it in her garden. That's pretty bad!)
I did not realize how beautiful the variegated Jacob's Ladder is when first arriving in the Spring ! What a gorgeous shade of pink.
06/09 - side bed, dappled sun to full shade in the middle. A work in progress to see what is happy here.
Native Plant Rescue - July 4, 2009. Development site for Future Elementary, UniverCity, Burnaby (Burnaby Mountain).
See: Trillium Ovatum (western trillium), Streptopus amplexifolius (Clasping Twisted Stalk Lily), Viola spp. (viola), Blechnum spican (deer fern) Vaccinium parvifolium, (red huckleberry), and small cedar!. I wasn't hopeful. My balcony is facing South, with a very generous overhang to provide the shade these plants needed. The large huckleberry is my biggest concern.
Grandma's old rowboat ... has served as a stunning shade begonia bed and now a slightly overgrown sunny garden. The hardy geraniums just love it here!
A naturalized section of yard. Daisys, buttercups, yellow tick weed, pyrolas further in the shade, and many other interesting Northwestern Ontario wild flora.
Two of my boys picking the last few red currants. These four bushes have to be moved, as do the rhubarb in front of them. They simply don't get enough sun here to really thrive and produce. Once they're moved, I'll plant shade-loving plants, and extend the vegetable garden into the sunny side of the yard. the kids ate the red currants after dinner with yogurt I had made that morning.
Here are our first graduates from the garden and grow program, and you can see how things have changed! Riley has some great looking Okra, and found that the cucumbers grow well with the shade from the okra..Tosh grew wax beans and got some great results with foil under his pepper plants, Sebastian and Nate had such great results with thier squash! The kids were picking 2 to 3 buckets of all kinds of food each day, as they learned how to grow thier gardens!
Does anyone know what this plant is? It grows about 3 feet high and smells like licorice, it just showed up in my yard about 10 years ago and loves the shade
The overgrown look. Honeysuckle on the arbour, the tree is a loebernii magnolia. The foreground shrub is a beauty berry.
Lungwort (pulmonaria), hostas, a couple of azaleas. A bit of a difficult spot as the bed gets full sun for about 3 months of the year and part to almost full shade the rest of the year. The lungwort burn a bit in summer but look amazing in the spring.
Aerial view of dahlia and begonia pot. Those red begonias have been a big success growing in the slight shade of the wall. I will try to propogate them for next year. The pansies are suffering and I really must put them in the pots today. I'm sure they'll come back.
Day lilies on the left, phitonia with foliage that starts out a beautiful shade of red in the background, with a tree peony to the right of it and the Moonfire dahlia in the foreground.
The fabulous dark maroon shade of this single Hollyhock, which I received from my friend Brenda's' garden, is echoed beautifully by the maroon tint of the leaves of the Katsura tree I planted this year. It has been waiting patiently in a pot for about 8 years for just the right spot & I think this is it!
beginning of shade memorial garden for my son Christopher, forever 19
consist of a white and purple lilacs,ferns, hostas, native plants started spring 2009
My flat's garden. This was in June (I think), in the middle of Autumn. I still didn't need a shade. The very cold Pacific Ocean lies behind.
Now this is an indoor plant that 'er indoors, up with which she would not put.
It is Leea coccinea, and details are:
Sun Exposure: Shade to part sun
Origin: Burma
Growth Habits: Evergreen shrub, fast growing, 4 feet to 8 feet tall (1.2 m-2.4 m), up to 5 feet in spread (1.5 m); purple, leaves
The big prune tree, Myrabalan, which shelters all sorts of meetings and therapies under its shade.
Banks of azaleas and rhododendrons on both sides of the reflecting pool bloom in every conceivable shade. Hybrids include the white Boule de Neige (French for snowball), Pink Twins and the vivid red Nova Zembla. The Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'dissectum') at the head of the pool and the globose sourwood (Oxydendron arboreum 'globosum') are particularly striking in their crimson autumn foliage. Next to the maple is a mature mountain silver bell tree (Halesia monticola).
Anemones, these have really multiplied this year in the shade and look lovely in a really dark spot.
Goldheart bleeding heart looks lovely against the darker green foliage of it's companions under the light shade of the Japanese Maple that is still hanging in there, despite being a frail specimen at an advanced age.
23rd May 2010..C. nocturnum is an evergreen shrub with night-blooming white flower clusters. As the flowers open in the evening, a lovely, bold fragrance is emitted. Likes constantly moist soil and full sun. Can tolerate some shade. as you can see i thought it was a creeper..untill tonight,so i will remove the frame and let it be a shrub..next to my bedroom window.
Side garden..the creeper thing comes up every spring goes made and then becomes straggly vines which i send to the dump and soon new will come up.plus a pretty lilac shade geranium.
Busy Lizzie (left) cyclamen (given to me by my daughter and her then "new" man 4yrs ago)and Maiden's Hair fern,which began living with me as a tiny $1.99 plant bought by my right hand man,Tama now 13yrs..about 5yrs ago.The maiden hair fern hated the heat pump as did most of the inside plants so I put them all out on the undercover(shade sail)table..then we had a frost,the shock almost killed off some,so I trimmed them off put them in a safe corner and everything is thriving...
