They can try, but it causes a lot of mental confusion and emotional distress......
Take me trying to love a God I don't love for example.
Take me trying to love the material world I hate for another example.

Thank you, @Trailblazer .
I wish we had a garden. Sometimes we can get marigolds to come up in the front yard. We have a very small and shady front yard; not much grows. The backyard is dominated by the dogs, who tear up everything. Everything. No grass back there anymore, even... We did move our fence so we have a small portion of the yard they can't get to, though its also shady. We're intending it to be an outdoor sanctuary. No work down on it yet, as we did it too late in the fall. Any advice on what might grow in a shady area that would be appropriate for such a venture?
Do you think a sewing machine needle might work for garlands? I've got several.
I really appreciate your guidance here!
Sure, sewing machine needles will work, I think. The only real key is that it has to be as long as the flower, so it goes right through. Hostas are the best outdoor shade plant I know. I know of no flower that does well in the shade. @Revoltingest knows more about your area, he might suggest some varieties,
I don't know her climate.

Boss said a sewing machine needle wouldn't work ... just a regular (sewing) needle.
Hostas will be a good choice.
Darker colors for deeper shade.
I haven't! The sewing machine hasn't been used since we moved into this house, about two years ago. I think its lacking a piece... Husband bought it for me years ago, and ended up discovering he had a natural talent for sewing.
That sounds about right. We've got some out front, and they do pretty well out there. Front yard is all shaded by a giant maple. The little usable corner of the backyard is mostly shaded by mulberry trees. Grass seems to thrive better back there, as well.
Trivia....
Hostas are thought of as shade plants. But their origin
in Japan is an area of great rainfall. This allows them to
tolerate full sun. I grow them in shade just cuz Michigan
summers can be a wee bit dry.
