When I was a boy my father encouraged my 2 bothers and I to garden, look after nature and so he had this great idea “Boys, it’s the Easter holidays next week why don’t you design, dig and create a pond, then we can look at how long it takes for frogs and toads to visit.
Well to 3 boys who lived in the garden and outside this was a great idea. We all draw pictures, but could not wait to get the spade and folk and start for real.
A few decades have past since then and in that time, I have made countless ponds, one brother has made a wonderful water plant garden in an old sink and the other still works on a range of projects with me.
