An update on the Rockery pond

rockery_pond_update

The latest news from the rock garden staff is that the finishing line is in sight. The photograph shows the old fibreglass removed, with the new fibreglass due to be laid in the next few days.

If all goes according to plan, the pond will be filled up, with waterfall on, on the Friday before the next Bank Holiday (6th May) weekend.  The very first fish will hopefully be put in the pond during week commencing 22nd April.

Interesting new planting will be created around the perimeter and planters will be installed in the centre of the pond, all of which will be great for dragonflies and other insects.

The work taking place over the next few weeks should also put a stop to the use of the pond by skateboarders!
