The "pond guy" I go to, his wife trims the long leaves and weaves broom/brush head with it. It's most aromatic when still green so they discard and make more, but they have lot's growing too.
Which bog plants?

@addy1 @slakker It's interesting, reading about "bog" and bog-type plants, most of which are naturally occurring [I can't think of the correct word....]. When you can find a little history about some of them, you learn just how long they've been around and their various uses throughout the development of our cultures! After all, most of man's earliest communities were [and still are] built around water ways, where these plants would have been indigenous and plentiful.
But, no, I'll leave the broom-making to O-Cedar!
