Flood resilient plants
If your garden is prone to flooding, perhaps you get a lot of rain or drainage is poor, the plants in this selection will not only put up with wet conditions, but also through their root systems, absorb moisture to alleviate excessive surface water.^ Trees and shrubs are particularly effective at soaking up water, but do grow quickly in wet conditions, so prune regularly to keep them a manageable size. Tip: It's advisable not to plant trees too close to the walls of your home to avoid roots interfering with the foundations.
