It can be fed by a fountain spout connected to a recirculating pump immersed in a small pool, or by a fountain spout attached to a garden hose. Sink the hose one inch or so into the ground to protect it from the lawnmower. Or you can bury a perforated soaker hose two to three inches below the soil level. Now you're ready to plant. You can also grow some really beautiful plants such as pitcher plants and pink lady slippers.
Ferns are also wetland naturals.
Royal, ostrich and cinnamon ferns grow five to six feet tall. Not only do the delicate fronds of these tall ferns add elements of grace and beauty to a wetland, they also provide hiding places for small creatures including tree frogs, salamanders, toads and snakes. Wetland wildflowers can provide nectar, pollen and seeds for insects and birds, as well as a succession of beautiful blooms for people to enjoy. And, of course, there are several native orchids that love boggy conditions. These include rose pogonia and grass pink, both of which produce delicate blossoms.
