How to Create a No-Fuss Wildlife Pond

October 9 @ 7:30 pm 9:00 pm

Presented by Pat Sutton

Frogs, toads, and dragonflies all need freshwater ponds for egg laying to create future generations. Even a tiny pond will attract and support them. Learn what a true wildlife pond is and how simple it is to create – with no need for running water, filters, fish, and all the fuss. Pat Sutton will share the basics of how to create a wildlife pond and, even more important, how to maintain it. Learn which native plants to add to the pond (and which problem plants to avoid). In a true wildlife pond, expect to attract and watch the amazing life cycle of huge Green Darner dragonflies and count the growing population of Leopard Frogs, Green Frogs, and Gray Treefrogs that find your pond as if by magic. Create it and they will come!
