We will be moving to Sedbergh soon and will own for the first time our own garden. Building a small pond is high up on the priority list (as is planting an apple tree of a local variety). I am always struck by just how much wildlife finds even the smallest of ponds - even deep in the middle of a city.
Our first pond was in an old sink; our second, a small dug-in pond. Both times I was amazed at how quickly all sorts of creatures arrived and what a difference they made to the garden.
