A lovely wildlife pond in Hemel Hempsted Hertfordshire required some attention. The pond had been overgrown with grass and a large proportion of the plants had been smothered or outgrown their original pots. The brief was as follows;
- Re-shape the ponds edges
- Remove grass from planters
- Re-pot overgrown marginals
- Remove dead planters
- Addition of new marginals ideal for wildlife ponds
The following plants were used in this pond;
- Iris
- Water Hawthorn, deep water marginals
- Water Violet oxygenating plant
- Raged robin
- Sweat flag
- Water strawberry
- King cup marigolds
- Arrowhead bulbs
- Marsh marigolds
- Forget-me-not
- Pickerel weed
- White robin
In the coming few weeks the marginals will start to flower and help complete the overall look of a lush wildlife pond
