If you have damp, wet spots in your yard, fear not. Of course, you can always try to improve the structure and quality of the soil, but this can be time-consuming and expensive. In my experience, the best approach is to use moisture-loving plants that will thrive in these conditions.
For many species, soggy soil can be a problem, and often, this can lead to root rot and plant death. Take herbs, for example. Lavender and rosemary, native to dry slopes and hills in the Mediterranean, will not fare well when planted in moist soil. So, the trick is to plant things that are true woodland, bog or marsh-loving species, that do not mind sitting in damp soil for long periods.
