Any garden can have a pond, and any pond can make a difference. Even the smallest miniature pond can attract new wildlife and add an extra dimension to a wildlife garden. If you’d like to be dazzled by damselflies and dragonflies, or give frogs a breeding place, it could be time to consider a pond. It is good to build one before spring is fully underway.
