We should remember that our backyard water features are not only enjoyable for us, but also helpful to the well being and functioning of our environment. Do you want your pond to be more diverse? Given a little time and a proper plant selection in and around your pond, you can create a very diverse ecosystem in your yard. Just remember to keep it simple and, with patience, your pond will mature over the years into a beautiful and functioning part of nature. One ecosystem pond in one backyard may not seem very important, but when you have a thousand similar backyard ecosystem ponds functioning simultaneously, there truly is a positive impact being made on the environment. These water features help provide an oasis for creatures whose natural habitats have been replaced by development – birds, frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders, and many others whose numbers have been declining sharply for many years now. So at a grassroots level, as the hobby of water gardening grows, there are additional habitats and diversity being added to our stressed suburban environments.
