How to Create a Wildlife Pond in Your Garden

Choose a suitable location for your wildlife pond, ensuring it gets a good amount of sunlight and shade throughout the day.

Dig out the shape of your pond, making sure to create varying depths to cater to different wildlife species that may visit.

Line the pond with a pond liner to prevent water leakage and add a layer of sand or soft substrate to create a habitat for amphibians.

Add native aquatic plants around the edges of the pond to provide cover for frogs and toads and create a natural-looking habitat.

Introduce rocks, logs, and branches around the pond to offer basking spots and shelter for wildlife that visit your newly created habitat.

Regularly maintain your wildlife pond by removing debris, topping up water levels, and monitoring the health of the plants and wildlife that call it home.
