I am a newbe. I am not even sure what a bog garden actully is. I have natural springs or areas when you dig down to plant something and the earth is full of water. I have lost several plants trying to grow in these areas. I also have areas that stay like large puddles all the time. I was thinking that maybe I have a natural bog. I appreciate any info.

Thanks

I found the following definition of a bog: a poorly drained usually acid area rich in accumulated plant material, frequently surrounding a body of open water, and having a characteristic flora (as of sedges, heaths, and sphagnum)

This describes a low-lying area of my property although, because I live in limestone, it's probably not acidic. I've just recently started visiting this forum because I'm starting to plant water-loving plants in this wet area surrounding a small natural pond.

So, in my very inexpert opinion, I'd say you do have a natural bog. Lucky you! I'm not sure why the other posters said no, maybe someone can explain.
