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
