I just found a cool website for people with LARGE naturalization projects

Check out their wetland seed mixes, for seeding your large bogs/riparian buffer zones/pond margins: https://www.cardnonativeplantnursery.com/seed/standard-mixes

They do have a $100 minimum policy, but if you have a big project, this won't be a problem: https://www.cardnonativeplantnursery.com/terms

I could also see a few people who live in the same area going in together to order at a place like this too.

I just let everything from my pond's outer bank and inward grow and do what it wanted. Other than relocating some bushes from front yard, mature sod strips from the driveway area to top of pond banks to speed up grass growth, and relocating the occasional aster sprouting up in the back of the yard to the pond, everything pretty much came in on it's own with all types of strange plants finding their way in. Did my best not to cut anything and just let it naturally propagate. After one season, have everything from sedges to apparently cat tails that found the pond.

Anyhow, if going for a wild or natural middle of nowhere appearance, keep it watered and just let the area do what it wants...for free.
