Have you ever thought that building a water garden or pond in your backyard
can and does affect our Ecosystem? 

Once you understand how your water garden and pond works with our Ecosystem, and what animals and plants live in them, then you can learn to appreciate nature and not let it scare you.  As you enjoy your water feature also remember that it is necessary for the well being and functioning of our wonderful environment.  Admire your backyard water feature, relax, and know nothing in your pond will hurt you! 

Diversity can add character in and around your pond.  You can create a diverse ecosystem in your own backyard with a little time and proper plant selection.  Keep things simple, add love and patience and over the years you can watch your water garden mature into a beautiful part of nature.

You may think that your one water garden or pond in your backyard may not seem so important, but when looking at the big picture with a thousand similar backyard ecosystems functioning at the same time – the impact being made on the environment is very positive.  You are helping to restore large amounts of habitat that have been declining sharply for many years now – for toads, frogs, newts and salamanders to name a few.  Our beautiful birds have also been driven from many of their natural wetland habitats, which they need so desperately to survive.

 So at the grassroots level, as the water garden and pond industry continues to grow and educate, there are many more habitats and diversity being added to our stressed out environments.
