The Power of Biodiversity! 

Broadly speaking biodiversity describes all the different kinds of life you'll find in one area. It includes animals, birds, fish, plants, fungi, microorganisms and even the bacteria that make up the natural world … or in this case, your pond.

Now, watching dragon flies and water skimmers zoom across the water, while birds enjoy a refreshing bath and fish swimming below, is something that most people are only used to seeing on TV. But the UK is full of wildlife, and your garden could be too.

Biodiversity in Yorkshire

Working in harmony from the bottom of the chain to the top we have (1) Consumers / Convertors - micro-organisms that feed on organic waste such as leaves or old fish food. Living in the gravel at the bottom of your pond they convert natural waste back to usable nutrients for the next level of the ecosystem to enjoy. (2) Zooplankton - micro-animals that feed on algae and other micro-organisms, helping to naturally keep your water crystal clear. (3) Invertebrates - insects such as dragon fly's and snails help filter your waters further, feeding on algae and other smaller inhabitants. They are the first signs of visible life in your pond. (4) Amphibians - Frogs, toads, salamanders and newts fall into this category. A huge hit with young children, these water lovers are always looking to make a splash! (5) Fish - whether a first-time fish owner or a serious fish enthusiast, all our ponds are fish friendly. From the humble goldfish to the prize-winning koi, you won't find a better, more natural home for your fish. (6) Animals - Birds, the main predator in your pond, will use your ponds to bath, drink and eat. Feeding on insects they'll help to maintain a healthy balance at the top of the food chain.

Now this may sound like a lot to contend with, but the beauty of a biodiverse pond is that it naturally maintains itself, the same way that our oceans and rivers have for thousands of years. This leaves you the time to sit back, relax and enjoy your pond all year round.
