Temperate Bog Garden
I'm posting this here because the bog will definitely contain a nice variety of orchids in addition to the carnivorous plants, but if you mods think it belongs in off topic, so be it.
I just moved into a new house which has this on the property. It's an old stone foundation about 16' wide x 12' deep. Because my neighbor's house rests on one end of it, and because of a huge Forsythia I don't feel like digging out I'm going about 12' x 12'. I'm putting a 2' high block wall behind what's left of the front wall of the foundation which will set the overflow depth of the bog and another wall along the left side to provide a buffer between he bog and my neighbor's house. Backfilling that area will put what's left of the bush out of sight and mind. Once the walls are in I'll excavate out what I need to in order to bring the whole works down to grade. A LOT less digging than if it were on a flat!
