Shownotes Transcript

The humble pond is a staggering ecosystem in itself, and supports much of the creatures surrounding it, making any garden pond a wonderful place for wildlife to thrive.

Steve Head returns to the podcast this week with a rousing call to action for us all to create our own ponds, great or small. He shares the value they bring, why one shouldn’t be concerned about a pond’s size, and the gorgeous array of flora and fauna that a pond can introduce.

In this episode, discover:

  • The essential value that ponds bring to both the ecosystem within them, and the wildlife that uses them
  • How to design a charming pond that best serves wildlife of all varieties
  • Whether your pond drying out is a problem to be prevented, or actually part of a useful cycle
