This is a fairly bright situation and the lightest shade catergory, but direct sun on any given area is minimal for any length of time. This is also the type of shade that provides a wide range of possibilities. Shade 2 is shade created by a northern exposer that has open shade cast by an adjoining wall, fence, or building.

Shade 3 is shade found in north-facing locations shaded by structures and trees where light is further obscured by foliage. This page is designed for Netscape browsers and HTML 3.0.
