Question:a pond. what kind of plants like water, but not in a water garden?
it's in the shade (lots of trees).
Answers:
Does your neighbor have water?, I hope you didnt hit his water pipe. If it used to be a pond, I hope they have put some solid fill underneath, so you dont find yourself swimming in that pond one day.
Call a few plant nurseries and ask. Also try some of the search engines; Yahoo; Google; alta vista etc.
Just type in Water gardens or plants loving water.
Your area may just have a high water table. Florida has this. I could dig 12" and hit water. Didn't see houses with basements because of this.
