North facing garden.

Can anyone recommend any shrubs that will survive this garden and the chickens?

Thank you.

 

Hi TH welcome to GC. I can recommend shrubs for north facing but not anti-chicken ones. I think that is impossible with the appetites those critters have.

 

I'm tempted to say something along the lines of onions and a sage bush, but I won't :D

Rhododenrons will cope with shade - we had a few growing right next to a 6 to 7 foot north facing wall and they did quite well.

 

Why Dave I was just thinking along the same lines! :D Hel.xxx.

Shiney sounds like Mrs Shiney has got you well are trained then.Roll over and play dead,'stop' 'up' and I bet you only go onto the parts of the garden she has trained you to go onto,ie the lawns with your lawn mower :D
