Wildlife Pond for patios specially designed to attract Frogs, Newts, Birds, Butterflies and Insects. Perfect for Patios and Small Gardens. Ideal Educational Gift.

Brilliant idea. I've put some plants in the pond and built a rockery to one side and some wild flower seeds to the other side.. It is in front of a fence with new creepers growing up it. I've had this a week now and I have no amphibians yet but the birds are enjoying a good bath. This little area of my small garden already looks great and I am looking forward to next year when the plants and flowers are grown.Update 2.9.15. I went to put a miniature water lily in the large water section and found it full of larvae which I think are pond skaters.

Came quickly, well packaged.I've bought different pond plans, the oxygenating ones are good to keep the water clear. No tadpoles or frogs as yet but it still looks good with plants and some shells around the border. Would like to buy a water lily next. Excellent for small garden or patio. Even good for partner who likes his lawn perfect! And doesn't want a dug in type pond. Sturdy. Rather expensive but worth it. Glad I got it.

Planted and filled with water - still waiting for the wildlife to appear

This product is a bit of a waste of time, to be honest. It aims to mimic the structure of a wildlife pond but is simply too small. The raised nature of the pond is not wildlife friendly, as the sides are steep and plastic. It will not realistically accommodate more that one or two plants. As a patio water feature it is twice the price of an oak barrel. In short, don't bother.

I thought about buying this for ages, I thought it was quite expensive, but being unable to dig down to make a pond, it was the only thing I could find on the market.However it turned out to be quite large and good quality, and flexible enough for not quite even ground. And it wasn't that expensive, really. I bought a starter kit of plants from Puddle Plants which quickly took over. I surrounded it with logs and put it fairly close to my compost bin and a pile of old leaves and some pots.That was only about 4 months ago, and I have just found a frog living in it! This may be common in a country garden, but I am in London and the "garden" behind my shop is the concrete foundation of an old out-building. I wasn't sure there would even be a local frog community to populate it. I was cutting the plants back slightly today and it jumped out onto the plastic surround. The frog doesn't mind it being plastic.May 2013: I just spotted a different frog on the edge of the pond this evening :-) Where do they come from and how do they find it ??

This is a good starter pond for frogs to sit in the summer but it is too small for them to breed in the Spring. Ideal for children to interest them in pond life You don't have to dig a hole which is a bonus - just build up earth around it . I also bought some pond oxygenating weed and some Barley Straw extract so that the pond water won't go green. The birds like to sit on the edge and drink from it. It really is no good expecting it to be like a bigger pond but is just nice to have a place for frogs to rest in the heat.

Really great product, could be a little larger or have choice of sizes. Quick to arrive.well designed with different depths.looks good, keep watching wildlife already in it !

It was bigger than I imagined the sides are too slippery, needs a better surface for wildlife to get up.
