Why is a water garden desirable? ven the smallest garden can host a wildlife pond. If you leave a tub, bucket, half-barrel or butt of water in the garden for a month, it will turn green with algae and you will find a variety of aquatic larvae in the water.

Herons may also visit if you have fish...
