When we compare our little patch of water to natural ponds we might think that its not worth having for the local wildlife. Not so. Visit your local Nature Reserve or a friend who has a pond and ask them if its worth it, then stand back and listen.
A small garden pond in thousands of gardens adds up to a substantial area of water.
There are companies that create natural ponds for customers, and with their expertise they can even convert existing swimming pools into natural ponds producing water that is so clean you can swim in it. And commendation to them but for most of us this is not the scale we can accommodate in our gardens.
So start simple and who knows, one day we might have the opportunity to have a large natural wildlife pond as our very own garden water feature.
