Technically a bio-swale this soggy patch of ground between properties was always troublesome, very little grew there and the mower often left ruts in the grass. After learning about rain gardens and their variants it dawned on me to plant soggy loving plants in a soggy spot! It now contains:

Swamp Milkweed
Chokeberry
Buttonbush
Golden Ragwort
Chocolate Root
Summersweet
Goldenrods
Joe Pye Weed
Blue Flag Iris
Winterberry Holly

and many more!
