Log piles & rockeries:
Leaving
logs and rocks around the edge of the
pond helps emerging invertebrates and
amphibians find shelter, particularly in
winter. In addition dead wood attracts
invertebrates on which amphibians can
feed whilst they hide. Log piles can ensure
many amphibians will stay in your garden
all year round.
Lizard rockeries:
South-facing
rockeries might attract nearby common
lizards, and other reptiles into gardens.
Use the soil excavated after digging your
pond.
Butterfly banks:
After creating your
pond, consider using leftover soil to
create an excellent wildflower bank for
invertebrates like moths and butterflies.
Sow the soil with native wildflower seeds.
Like rockeries, south-facing sunny banks
are best.
