Making Wildlife Ponds

How to create a pond to attract wildlife to your garden

Any kind of access to water in your garden will attract new wildlife, such as damsel- and dragonflies, toads and frogs to breed, birds to drink and bathe and possibly even hedgehogs to visit. In addition, pond and marginal plants will enrich your garden with colour and structure. Jenny Steel will guide you through the various steps of creating a pond and bringing it alive, including deciding on its right location, digging, lining, filling and planting your pond, with additional advice on its maintenance.
