Bog Garden

Introduction

Bog gardens are a good way to make use of a waterlogged area of land or a garden. They host wetland plants that don't do well in standing or deep water, but are never the less important for wildlife including pollinators, amphibians, birds, and more. These allow you to host aquatic-type plants without worry about the safety of small children or animals that might drown in a pond. 

Resources & Guides

The general idea can be used anywhere, but if you want to use one/some of these guides, and live elsewhere, then make sure to double check any suggested species. It's always best to plant local natives, instead of accidentally spreading or introducing invasive species.
