ideas for a stream?
By Sissy
United States 
I am blessed with a beautiful, spring fed brook running through my front yard. The water is shallow and swift, the banks are grassy. Some spots are soggy. I just want to enhance its natural beauty. Any ideas? (I live in zone 4)

Take a look at my blog of 2nd May - we also have a stream and I recently planted up the bank!

« this is growing in the field across from my house. does anyone know what it is?
Do I envy you! What would you like best? natural stuff? If you have swift shallow water (over stones I presume) have you thought about watercress? There are some really interesting pitcher plants too. they like soggy spots. there are irises that like the waterside and there are plants like forget-me-not...and marsh marigold (caltha palustris which are perennials...I suggest googling water plants...and see why you come up with. Have fun!
