Encourage wildlife biodiversity with a green garden pond

Making the most of your garden with a pond

How does your garden grow?

Gardens give great pleasure to thousands of green fingered growers across the country.

It doesn’t take a huge amount of effort to ensure wildlife can flourish in your garden, you just need to be aware of what creatures need so that you can enjoy your garden alongside the birds, butterflies and bees.

Which are the best plants to use?

In addition to growing pollinator friendly plants, encouraging birds with feeders and tempting other wildlife through log and leaf piles (so don’t tidy up too much), at the heart of any wildlife garden sits a pond or small water feature. All animals need water to thrive and a small wildlife-friendly garden pond can make a huge difference to your garden’s biodiversity.

Many people overestimate the effort and expertise required to fulfil the dream of a garden pond. Preformed ponds – that come in a variety of shapes and sizes – simplify the construction process and are perfect for the less experienced gardener or landscaper.
