Perelandra Virtual Garden Tour (G: Pond & Tadpool)

A virtual tour of the Perelandra garden given by Machaelle's garden assistants during the 2007 season.
(The Fish Pond & Tadpool: Part 7 of 12)

This is a favorite resting stop for Perelandra Open House visitors.

The pond was designed and positioned by nature, dug by Clarence (with a little help from a backhoe), lined by Dupont (it has a plastic liner), filled by the hose, and planted and "rock walled" by Machaelle.

The bio-filter waterfall and pump house were added in 1996. All of this so it can be inhabited by a bunch of frogs, snakes, salamanders, lizards, fish and freshwater clams. Birds and insects like it a lot, too.

The smaller pond to the right, the "tadpool," was added in the fall of 1998 specifically for the frogs. Their eggs and the young tadpoles are safe in this fish-free pond.

I would LOVE to have my very own tadpole and frog area in the garden (free of fish). This is awesome!
