The Bog Garden and Boardwalk.

The Bog Garden is naturally kept constantly damp by numerous springs, even in the driest summers it stays wet. The garden as a whole contains 167 Irises and 35 Primulas.

We used a natural rope made from manila for the handrail.	This rope was purchased from Neil Gladwell of the Traditional Rope Company.
A concealed path leads down to the bog garden.	The wooden Boardwalk, made by Nigel, elevates you over the Bog Garden.

Above, summer sees Primulas in full flower.	Above, in late summer the Rudbeckias are at their best.
Iris ensata above.	We think this is Iris 'Hatsuho', a cross between Iris pseudacorus and Iris 'Sakigake'.
