Title: Wanted Pond Plants Please!
Post by: Mel on June 19, 2013, 11:03:13 am

Hi all,
I know it is an odd thing to ask, but I was wondering if anyone had any pond plants, lilies, elodea crispa etc, etc, Can swap with seeds as I have hundreds, or am happy to pay- though please bear in mind I am a mere peasant  :D

Anything much shall do, my pond was devastated last year by all the ducks I had bred, I need to get it looking nice again!

Thanks for your consideration. xx

Please make sure you get only native plants - the others choke the pond and make it untenable for amphibians like frogs, newts and toads.  Or, of course, you could put fish in it and they'll all get eaten anyway.
