The sub-tropical or mediterranean garden

The sub-tropical or mediterranean garden
At our Chelsea Flower Show stands many people will have seen our selections of those plants which like to grow in boggy or wet conditions or where they look best beside or reflected in water. Even the smallest garden can have a pond, or a shady wet corner so why waste the opportunity to grow plants which enjoy these conditions?

Water has an important part to play in encouraging wildlife into your garden but the right plants surrounding water will do even more to establish a small wildlife friendly ecosystem in your garden. Our selection, which is listed below, contains many favourites selected on merit by our customers but we are happy to create longer lists for your garden if you would like to email us some pictures.
