The Wetland Garden is useful for large depressions or low lying areas where the soil is consistently moist. Fascinating and unusual plants can be grown in areas that would otherwise be problems.
Special ferns, flowers, shrubs, and trees make the Wetland Garden their home, including Winterberry Holly, Sensitive Fern, Cardinal Flower, Turtlehead, Monkey Flower, Narrow Leaved Cattail, Buttonbush and more. Wetland preservation is a top priority for both the government and concerned citizens because of the unique flora and fauna they support.
Wetland appropriate plants easily outperform weeds or agricultural forage grasses that might already be present. Suppression or removal of existing non-native plant material is followed by newly installed plantings that establish themselves quickly and rapidly multiply to create a mature looking garden in just a few seasons.
