Pond plants & bog gardens
Water brings a tranquillity to the garden like no other feature. Added to which, ponds are brilliant for attracting wildlife to the garden. Some plants grow in water, either floating on the surface or in the bottom of the pond, in the mud or in baskets. Others plants grow in the boggy land that surrounds a natural pool.; Top tip: The water depth is very significant and plants have specific requirements, so be sure to follow the planting guidance for each plant to ensure it thrives. Also, be mindful of invasive species which can grow quickly, covering the water surface and hindering sunlight from reaching submerged plants.
