The invention discloses an ecological 
restoration method for a lakeside 
wetland. In the method, hygrophilous woody plants are planted in a lakeside zone to construct 
wetland plant communities. The hygrophilous woody plants comprise hygrophilous arbor and hygrophilous 
shrub, wherein the hygrophilous arbor comprises willows, 
metasequoia, ascendens mucronatum, 
taxodium ascendens brongn and bamboo; the hygrophilous 
shrub comprises iteaceae and S.integra thrnb; and the plants are planted in the way of 
shoot cottage or soil ball transplant. The hygrophilous woody plants are perennial plants, have a low growth rate, low 
biomass, low growth amount and low 
plant disposal pressure and do not need 
felling and refloating every year, so that the defects of frequently harvesting and refloating herbal emergent 
aquatic plant communities every year are overcome, the maintenance and management cost of lake 
wetland plant communities are reduced, the lakeside depositing rate is lowered, and the secondary 
pollution hidden danger to 
lake water bodies is relieved. Compared with the prior art, the method has the characteristics of convenient operation, maintenance and management, low maintenance cost, high ecological benefit, easy popularization and application and the like and can be used for ecological restoration 
engineering of lake and lakeside bottomlands, 
swamp marshes and shallow water zones.
