Here’s a little update on our small wildlife pond. We built the pond in March-April 2020 so it’s now going into its fourth year. It’s been a great addition to our garden, and I love visiting to observe the wildlife activity or to do a bit of weeding nearby.

Here’s the story of how I made our small wildlife pond. It’s a long post, but it’s full of photos so you can see each of the steps from digging to finally planting up the surrounding garden.

This old fish pond was completely neglected when we moved to our new home. Here’s how we transformed it into a habitat that’s more inviting to wildlife.

Some photos of the wonderful insects we’ve been seeing in the garden lately.

I stopped mowing part of our garden - see what flowers have been showing up!
