Help Create Native Plant Sanctuary For Birds And Pollinators

Question

I have a 60ft retaining wall along the back of my property. It has about 20 ft of hillside behind it with a wooded area behind that. Zone 7, mostly shade, water loving native plants. Could you help me design something that is low maintenance but will ptesent well on the hillside above the wall? I have only a large oak tree in the yard to the left of the patio about 10 ft from the wall and would like to populated the yard in front of the wall as well. Could send photis and dimensions.Thanks for your consideration.
