| Maidenhair Fern Adiantum pedatum |
Dainty bright green fronds are suspended on shiny black wire-like stems creating a light, airy texture in the woodland garden. The slightest wind causes a gyrating movement in the fronds. In rich soil and bright shade it will spread by shallow rhizomes to form a dense groundcover. Found in the humus-rich woodlands and moist woods of Eastern North America. Easy to grow as long as the soil is loose and rich.

Marsh Fern |
(Thelypteris thelypteroides, Dryopteris thelypteris) This is a very common fern in wet, sunny areas. The spores are located on the underside of fronds, on rows of dots near the midvein. Fertile fronds have leaf edges that are slightly rolled over the spore-bearing sori. It is natively found on the edges of marshes and wet meadows, ditches, or woods; usually in rich, wet soil but not in standing water
