They are a good garden addition but they normally require shade and moist areas.
There are wild ferns growing in my yard (shady & damp) areas but I don't dare move them.
They require little care but if it were me, I'd concentrate on flowering varities.
Good luck!

Ferns make good, low maintenance garden plants that have surprisingly few pests and diseases. Many ferns prefer light to moderate shade, somewhat moist conditions and soil rich in organic matter. Ferns are adapted to a wide variety of conditions–some ferns prefer dry rocky sites or wet marshy conditions while others thrive in limestone-rich soils. There are garden ferns for just about every condition you encounter in a garden. In fact, there are over 500 kinds of hardy ferns that can be grown in American gardens.

Ferns are good for rockeries in a shady place

They are excellent shady area landscape plants, although they do tend to spread, so you either want to put them in an area where they can prosper by themselves, or contain them with some landscape edging.
