Step-by-Step Guide: Creating a Wildlife Pond in Your Garden

Choose a Location: Find a spot with partial sun, away from trees. Mark the pond shape using a hose or rope.

Dig the Pond: Start digging the pond shape, creating shelves for plants and wildlife to access the water easily.

Install Pond Liner: Lay a pond liner over the hole, ensuring it reaches all corners and edges to prevent leaks.

Add Water and Plants: Fill the pond with water and add aquatic plants like water lilies and oxygenators to create a balanced ecosystem.

Introduce Wildlife: Allow the pond to settle for a few days before introducing wildlife like frogs, newts, and insects.

Maintain Your Pond: Regularly remove debris, control algae growth, and monitor water quality to keep your wildlife pond thriving.
