Bog Garden

Redhill, Surrey
Featured Plants:
 
Gunnera manicata
Fatsia japonica
Crocosmia 'Lucifer'
Lobelia cardinalis
Primula japonica

This project involved the establishment of a large bog garden to adjoin the informal fishpond shown in the other built projects. The project breifed the creation of a linking garden feature between a fish pond and nature pond. The design was focused around a large linking bog garden that provides seasonal structure and colour through the use of architectural and grouped planting.

 

In order to prepare the site a large conifer tree was removed, a timber retaining wall constructed and the soil excavated, lined and re filled. The planting scheme is structured around a specimen Gunnerra manicata and Fatsia japonica. This is then surronded by a lower herbaceous understorey including Crocosmias, Hostas and Astilbes.
