Map of the Wet Garden on display at Jakes Branch County Park.What is a Wet Garden?
Do you have an area in your yard where the soil is consistently damp, where water constantly puddles, or an area with heavy moss coverage? A wet garden consisting of specific native perennials, trees and shrubs may be a perfect fit.
The map above shows a selection of native plants that can be used to create a wet garden. Visit the USDA Natural Resources Conservations PLANTS database to see and learn more about each plant.
Only the seed pods of the Rose Mallow remain in October.
