[Ad- gifted collab]Â A few years back Dann and I made a little flower-pot pond, they were going viral on the internet and we wanted to give it a try! It’s been thriving in our backyard since, and we love looking out into the garden and seeing it. I find these little ponds to be so fun to build and watch change. We’ve seen birds taking drinks, smaller bugs on the plants and sometimes even see butterflies fluttering about! Recently Essex Local Nature Recovery Strategy has challenged people in our area to boost their local ecosystem’s biodiversity, so we’ve partnered with them to create a second mini pond, and we’ll tell you how!
Creating a mini pond is actually really easy and you can often recycle a lot of the materials that you need. We used:
- A bucket, either an old, upcycled one or one purchased from a store.
- Bricks
- Rocks
- Pond Plants (optional)
- Large Sticks
