bog garden

Creating a bog garden is the perfect way of cultivating a waterlogged dip in the garden. Our Bog Garden will provide a range of attractive planting opportunities and will be an excellent wildlife habitat. It will be the area that will make available more projects during the winter without having to compete for attention in the garden.

This part of the garden will be shaped from scratch creating an area where moisture-loving plants thrive and the area will act as an extended habitat for wildlife to keep them protected.

We are expecting to maintain damp conditions to imitate the edge of natural water that gets progressively drier as you move away from the water source and replicates the emergence zone that amphibians use as they enter and leave the pond at various stages of their lifecycle.

B&Q will be sharing their skills and expertise by working with the children to create bug houses which will be housed in the bog garden.
