Do what has been suggested and turn it into a bog garden.

We were down near Gloucester last year and saw a garden with a 'sunken'
bog garden. It was wonderful. A large irregular hole in the ground with
a peninsular out into it on which were a table and chairs. The edges
were vertical and walled and there were steps down into it. The bottom
was filled with various tall bog plants so that you just saw the flowers
peeping up over the top. It was wonderful - I want one as well )))))))


You are so right!
The most impressive part of Middleton (formerly National Botanic Fiasco of
Wales) is the bog garden.
It is luscious all year round and absolutely buzzing with all kinds of
wildlife. I could sit there all day and never stop finding something new and
fascinating to look at.
