Choose Shade-Tolerant Plants: Plant a variety of shade-tolerant flowers, shrubs, and ground covers that can thrive in low-light conditions.
Provide Shelter with Dense Vegetation: Dense shrubs, ferns, and small trees offer shelter and nesting sites for birds, small mammals, and beneficial insects.
Incorporate Water Features: Even in a low-light garden, a small water feature like a birdbath, pond, or shallow dish can attract birds, frogs, and insects.
Use Decaying Logs and Leaf Litter: Allow some areas of your garden to have decaying logs, fallen branches, or leaf litter.
Install Birdhouses and Bat Boxes: Adding birdhouses and bat boxes to your garden can encourage birds and bats to take up residence.
Create a Pollinator-Friendly Environment: Include a mix of flowering plants that bloom at different times, providing continuous food sources for pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Avoid Pesticides and Chemicals: Refrain from using pesticides and chemical fertilizers in your garden, as these can harm beneficial wildlife.
