Bog Garden

The bog demonstration gardens are so much more than just a bog!  There are both sun and shade gardens as well as two separate ponds with walkways and seating throughout the area.  The main component, the bog itself, exists to illustrate that a low-lying part of property need not be filled in to aid drainage.  It can be modified to work as nature intended.  This bog is planted with bald cypress trees and a wide variety of plants that manage to thrive in clay and don’t mind “wet feet.”
