I need to know, because all year I've had a garden bed I made between a
few trees in my yard. And nothing will grow. I didn't realize how
important the sun actually is. But is there anything I can grow in my
garden?


Are you wanting to grow shrubs, perennials, annuals?

Do you want flowers, or just greenery?

My favorite shade shrub is pieris japonica. Very attractive, relatively
slow growing, pretty year round.

Perennials could include hellebores,

Best flowering annual IMO are impatiences.





The OP has hundreds of plants to choose from. He should immediately
purchase the best book ever published on this subject:
The Complete Shade Gardener, by George Schenck. Loaded with ideas.

thanx for the book suggestion!

I'm not kidding - you'll get lost in that book. It's that good.
