Inside the pages of this book about creating a wildlife pond you will find: • Photographic step-by-step guide on creating and maintaining a variety of pond types, including natural-style ponds, container ponds, and more traditional, formal-style ponds that still attract wildlife • Evocative, in-depth chapters that tell the story of your pond through the year: what you can expect to see happen, the creatures that will visit and live in and around the pond, and tips on what to look out for and how to keep it in good condition • An eye-catching mixture of photography and illustration, similar to the style used in DK’s How to Attract Birds to Your Garden Your very own backyard oasis Create a natural sanctuary right where you are! This book shows you how to create a backyard pond in your garden and how to attract and support local species. RHS How to Create a Wildlife Pond provides easy-to-follow steps on how to dig your own pond, line it, advice on which aquatic plants to plant, and how to make sure local wildlife can enter and exit the pond safely. This book will also give you advice on how to take care of your pond so that you’re able to enjoy the local animals, insects, and birds for years to come. You can expect to see blackbirds bathing in your pond, hedgehogs using it as a water source, and bats flying over at night to catch insects. This wonderful book is filled with photographs and illustrations that will make creating your own pond easy and fulfilling!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This friendly, practical guide includes everything you need to know to pick up a spade, put in a pond and help wildlife flourish right outside your back door. Ponds are vital oases for nature. They are nursery grounds, feeding stops and bathing spots. They are genetic superhighways and vibrant ecosystems each brimming with life, interactions and potential. And they are for everyone. In The Wildlife Pond Book, Jules Howard offers a fresh perspective on ponds and encourages gardeners to reach for a garden spade and do something positive to benefit our shared neighbourhood nature. As well as offering practical tips and advice on designing, planting up and maintaining your pond, Jules encourages readers to explore the wildlife that colonises it with a torch, a microscope or a good old-fashioned pond-dipping net. With a foreword by award-winning wildlife-gardening author, Kate Bradbury, this helpful new guide includes a section outlining the hundreds of organisms that may turn up in your pond and is packed with creative ideas that have been tried and tested by author Jules Howard, an avid pond-builder, prolific pond-dipper and passionate voice for freshwater conservation for more than fifteen years. So, no matter how big your outdoor space is, The Wildlife Pond Book is the guide you need to create your very own haven for nature.
