Small ponds may be compact, but they bring huge benefits to your garden and local wildlife. Whether it’s a wildlife pond, a patio container pond, or a vintage butler sink, even the smallest ponds provide an essential water source for birds, bees and amphibians. They’re easy to build, simple to maintain and create a thriving mini ecosystem right in your own garden.

The right pond plants for small ponds are key to keeping everything balanced. Carefully chosen plants will enhance your pond without overcrowding, provide shelter for wildlife and help keep the water clear. Even in a container pond, the right mix of floating, marginal and oxygenating plants will attract pollinators, support frogs and newts and bring natural beauty to your garden.

With the right planting, a small pond can have just as much life and interest as a larger one - making it the perfect addition to any outdoor space!
