Wild & Wet
This garden depicts a small part of a larger wetland habitat found in Cardiff and the surrounding area, including naturalised native wetland planting. Structure and height are created through the planting scheme, which includes shrubs, trees and reeds, supplemented by features such as logs and stones to add interest and focal points. The border is made from recycled sleepers that are weathered and worn to give the design a natural feel.
The garden is designed to highlight wetland habitats and the biodiversity that thrives in them. Interactive activities and art and crafts themed around wetlands can be found in the marquee adjacent to the garden run by the Cardiff Council Ranger Service.
