Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland roll around in the foliage on this week's episode of The Growing Season. 

The completion of a recent job was the impetus for an exploration of one of the finest shade plants on the market.

What light environment do Coral Bells thrive in?   There are myths that they need full shade.  The McFarlands explore.
