Not surprising from the name, a common plant in the bogs at Cranberry Glades is the small cranberry (Vaccinum oxycoccos) which is a common bog plant throughout North America and Europe. While not considered a commercially valuable source of cranberries today, the small cranberry was used historically as a food source by Native American.
In the open bog areas of Cranberry Glades the small cranberry plants grow with bog rosemary, cotton grass, sphagnum moss and other bog plants. Careful observations will show the tiny carnivorous sundew as well as the pitcher plants growing among the cranberry plants.
