Planting a wildlife patch in shade

[flowerpothead]

Good morning green fingered Mumsnetters!
We have moved a greenhouse in our garden as it was right in front of our French doors obscuring the view of the garden.
We have a greenhouse-sized plot (6’x10’ ish) which I’d like to have low-growing wildlife-friendly plants in with a central bird-bath and feeder. Any ideas on the plants or layout? It is really quite shaded by a lovely big fig so they need to be shade tolerant.
In the long-term we plan to re-locate our pond here so just planning for the next couple of years. Ideally it would look nice year-round as it’s very visible from the house. Thank you!

Our rear garden is shady and we got some plants from this collection

and blended them in with some evergreen plants. This magazine was also useful:

Most insects like purple flowering plants, I can’t remember why!
Apart from some shallow water, either a bird bath or sunken bowl, I’d put in a small pile of logs in the darkest bit. Small creatures like the dark and damp.

Some great ideas. That magazine looks brilliant PlainPiglet.
It’s quite near our existing pond so I think the frogs will enjoy it too!
Thank you both very much.

Sarah Raven do a wildflower mix for shade, its in a tin and you just shake it out on the ground. I've not tried it but it looks lovely and easy!
