Default Shade gardens

I have a lattice fence in the corner of the back yard which hides the yard waste/compost heap. Once the deciduous trees leaf out it doesn't get but a couple of hours of full sun. The rest of the time it's dappled light. I've given up trying to grow plants with require several hours of full sun

I am looking for suggestions for a shade garden here. Ideally, it would contain planys which attract bees/butterflies/hummingbirds. But this may not be possible.

I'm hoping to hear from others how they tackle a less than sunny area.

I bought the trellises today because I liked them an thought maybe I could grow some vines that don't require a lot of sun. Suggestions?

Note: There's a mystery tomato over the lattice that's been growing there all winter.
