What to plant in light well with no direct light?

Hi: I recently moved into an apartment in Brooklyn. There is a grated light well in the garden that's about 3x3 feet wide and 6 feet deep, that lets light into a basement window. It is a concrete base with brick walls, and receives no direct sunlight although it's open to the sky. I'm assuming that it's possible to grow shade ferns/moss in the bottom of the well, to create a pleasant view from inside the basement room - does anyone have any thoughts on what might work? I'm considering putting down gravel to make sure it drains when it rains, and covering the gravel with soil. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Chris
