The pond bed has both a pond and recirculating
stream. It was created to demonstrate a natural
pond set up with features such as sloping sides.
The pond contains some water plants which provide
habitat to potential residents such as fish,
water bugs and larvae of beneficial insects such
as dragonflies.
If you want to have water-loving native plants in
and around your pond, try water smartweed, arrowhead,
pickerelweed, blue flag iris, cardinal flower
and marsh marigold. For drier spots surrounding
your pond, consider Coreopsis, false Solomon’s
seal, Gaillardia and barren-ground strawberry.
