Wildlife pond plants
Wildlife ponds will attract and become a home for amphibians, insects (including pollinators) and birds. Choose the right plants to provide food and shelter, as well as managing water temperature and purity^. Frogs will earn their keep by eating slugs for you, while newts, dragonflies, hoverflies, beetles and insects will provide interest and contribute to the ecosystem of your garden.
