A wet, marshy area surrounding the pool near the garden's edge has been planted with a variety of native and ornamental grasses, including the reed Juncus stygius ssp. Americanus, Pennisetum villousum 'Feathertop' and low-growing Festuca ovina. A simple dogleg plank bridge gives focus to informal scene, as well as keeping feet dry. Adding a variety of small habitats like this to a garden will attract an assortment of wildlife, adding another layer of interest—and beauty—to the garden.
