Marginal Pond Plants
With many wetlands and bogs rapidly disappearing throughout Britain, there’s no time like the present to invest in a few marginal pond plants and bog plants for your garden. Even the smallest of wildlife-friendly ponds will soon be teeming with life – both plant and animal – providing much-needed food and shelter for animals as well as an attractive planting scheme. Make the most of your marginals with our selection of marginal plants and bog garden plants, most of which are available to purchase directly through the summer months, or can be pre-ordered out of season. We provide a free growing guide with every order to offer pertinent tips and advice on creating a pretty and thriving garden habitat.
