POND PERFECTION

This is my small garden pond – I hate seeing the liner and wanted it as natural as possible for the wildlife. I’ve grown mind-your-own-business and creeping Jenny; so cheap as you can dig clumps up and move it round the pond edge to spread it about. It covers the liner quickly and hangs into the pond so the frogs, birds and other wildlife have easy access. It can be invasive but it’s also worthwhile. I think our frogs think they have a soft green carpet!

Simon says: A great effect, Julie, and one which the wildlife must love. I just hope the pond still has enough water with all the recent dry weather!
