I have 2 areas like this, that I'd like to make into something nice. The dirt that was put in around the rocks, was taken from the woods, and I didn't know that there would be so much tall grass. I guess that I'm looking for small bushes flowers and plants that will fit into the rock garden for area #2. We have a lotr of Deer here.

I think that would be so pretty with plants coming out of them.Maybe a shrub like Dwarf Buford Holly or native wild plants.The Holly might not be on their food list not sure.It is a wonderful shrub. _________________ 'Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.'

Are you looking for larger plants? Prennials that you don't have to replant every year. With the shade, I would use some bleeding heart. They were in the woods when we were kids. I guess things with fruit and berries would be out unless you wouldn't care if they ate the fruit. Primrose is a nice low ground cover among rocks. My father-in-law had those and vinca in his.
