Looking for Shade Plants/Manure for Compost

I am attempting to fill a shady area(or 2) in my garden. I recall someone at the plant exchange offering me a bleeding heart but with all the commotion, I cannot remember who it was. Please let me know if that is still an offer. I'm sure I could find something to trade for it or throw a few dollars your way.

I'm also looking for other shade plants as I apparently have much more shade than I knew about last week. I wish I knew more before that plant exchange or I wouldn't have this problem now.

Also, any suggestions for where to buy manure for compost in the area?

Thanks!

Tina

I get my free farmpost at the horse track out in Shakopee. It is horse manure ground with straw and then aged. If you want to give me a call (do you still have my number?) I will give you directions
