In this garden makeover video, I show you how we turned an unusable, wet garden border filled with heavy clay soil and bad drainage into an attractive, garden with amended soil and pretty shrubs that can handle the wet! I explain how I chose the 3 shrubs I recommend (Little Henry Sweetspire, Sugartina Crystalina Summersweet, and Sugar Shack Buttonbush); exactly how we amended the soil to drain a little better and become filled with nutrients; why I hate landscape fabric; and I share a garden mystery with you too!

🍃 GARDEN SHRUBS PURCHASED 🍃
I purchased all of the shrubs in this video from Proven Winners online. All three shrubs have handled the wet garden wonderfully, and after one year since planting - I can highly recommend each one.
