Choose Shade-Tolerant, Pollinator-Friendly Plants: Select plants that thrive in shade and are known to attract birds, bees, and butterflies, such as columbine, hostas, and ferns.
Incorporate Native Plants: Native plants are well-adapted to local climates and provide the best food sources for local wildlife.
Create Layered Plantings: Design your garden with a variety of plant heights and layers, from ground covers to shrubs and small trees.
Add Water Features: Incorporate small water features, such as birdbaths, shallow dishes, or mini ponds, to provide birds, bees, and butterflies with essential drinking and bathing spots.
Provide Nesting and Shelter: Install birdhouses, bee hotels, and dense shrubs to offer nesting sites and shelter for birds and bees.
Use Organic Gardening Practices: Avoid using pesticides and chemicals in your garden, as they can harm pollinators and other wildlife.
Incorporate Blooming Plants Throughout the Seasons: Plant a variety of shade-tolerant species that bloom at different times throughout the year.
