Shady spots are areas that receive little to no direct sunlight, often found under trees, buildings, or other structures. These locations can provide a cool refuge on hot days and are typically characterized by lower temperatures and higher humidity compared to sunny areas. Plants that thrive in shady spots, such as ferns and hostas, often have adaptations that allow them to grow well with limited light. These areas can also be important habitats for various wildlife, including birds and insects, which seek shelter from the sun and predators.
