A swamp garden is a type of garden designed to thrive in wet, marshy conditions. It typically features plants that are adapted to saturated soil and can tolerate standing water. Common plants found in swamp gardens include cattails, water lilies, and marsh marigolds. These gardens can help improve local ecosystems by providing habitats for wildlife and filtering pollutants from water. Swamp gardens can be created in backyards or public spaces, often using raised beds or natural depressions to hold water. They are beneficial for biodiversity and can attract various species, including frogs, dragonflies, and birds. Additionally, they can serve as educational tools for understanding wetland ecosystems.
