Damp garden

dexterwolf

My garden at the bottom gets limited sunlight and is wet and damp. Any ideas how to make this dry without putting slabs down?

Dig a drainage pit? Dig a small wildlife pond?

Water table faily high? That part slightly lower than the rest of the garden?

Google to see what small trees or bushes take up a lot of water, and maybe plant a couple of them.

What is surrounding area like? Are neigbour's gardens the same? Are you in a hollow or foot of a hill / slope?

We really need much more info to be of any real help.

People will advocate things like drainage, but that's not always realistic, nor is removing shade if it's owned by someone else!

At base, one gardens with the environment that exists. To do otherwise means expense and greater effort. There are plenty of plants that cope with shade and/or dampness.

Just Google 'plants for shade.' I know where you'll end up.
