★ MISSION BRIEF
The Shady Garden is a 16-foot-wide, 10-foot-deep, 8-foot-high backyard shade garden in Pompano Beach, Florida.
It’s a peaceful wildlife habitat, a tropical plant-learning laboratory, and a cinematic outdoor set where nature writes the story and the props support it.
This website records what works, what fails, what gets rebuilt, and what happens when the cameras are watching.
Jungle Patrol operations began February 22, 2025.
