A patch of bog will make an interesting addition to any garden or school grounds. By creating waterlogged conditions, you can artificially create a bog garden.
Peat bogs develop where the ground is waterlogged and is, as a result, poor in oxygen.
The main source of water and minerals to plants in the bog is rainwater. This means that bogs are poor in minerals and, as a result, tend to be acidic. A bog is relatively inexpensive and easy to construct. Once established it will not require too much maintenance. Offering refuge to some uncommon plant and animal communities.
