a little more awake now...
The other reason I wouldn't plant blackberries is because they can be very
vigorous, long arching canes reaching way beyond where you want them, and
spread by rhizomes-- worse than elderberries. I think the swamp rose &
aronias & some viburnums also have rhizomes, but easily discouraged by
mowing.
Try searching "raingarden fruit shrubs", [genus] wetlands, or similar. More
ideas there.

I don't think I've ever seen blackberries in wet areas in z.4-5 s.WI. I've
seen one of the lower-growing "dewberries" closer to marsh areas, but rarely
with fruit, & they are too weedy & spreading for a yard site where you want
a shrub.
What about Aronias and Viburnums?
