There are plants that do well in the woods, but I'm not familiar with MI climate. Some I knew well in OH:


Maianthemums (Maianthemum)

Eastern Red Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis)

Common Blue Violet (Viola sororia)

Like Bill said, the woods do their own thing. I've never had the pleasure of having such an area to garden, but imagine it would be difficult to try to introduce plants because they seem to form patches in particular spots that are really to their liking. It would be best to stick with native plants.

My recommendation for new gardeners is always to go inside and look out of the windows. The spots you see from the windows are where you will get your greatest enjoyment from ornamental plants. Then branch out into other areas that you have to go outside to see.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
