I'm very excited to have found this website. I've always wanted to be a better gardener than I am, and I am looking forward to being inspired and learning a lot from the stellar gardeners who are out there. Right now I'm looking for suggestions of plants that will thrive in Chicago in a yard that gets partial sun. I'd particularly like to bring more color to my yard, not necessarily flowers. Interesting foliage would be great as well. Any advice?
