Building a bog garden is a great way to conserve water and add another element to your garden. Gardens are made up of space or “rooms” usually. So if your pond is one room, your bog garden can be an adjoining one and can even look as if it is part of the pond.

A bog garden is one of many kinds of rain gardens.They are shallow ponds, often with natural bottoms that are located in a low part of the yard. If you do not have a low spot in your yard. The shallow part of the pond that we call the bog is often used as a filtering system for the pond. The pond water naturally flows through the bog garden and makes your pond water clean and clear. The roots and stalks of the bog plants act as a natural filtration system. They add oxygen and remove ammonia, just as deeper-set pond plants do. Any plant material that water flows through makes the water cleaner.
