We build a lot of ponds and waterfalls. Even if the construction is finished and water is added, We have come to firmly believe that its not finished until plants are added. Plants inside the pond and out make the water feature more inviting. Your pond was probably built for more than one reason, and one of them usually is to draw people to it. Without the addition of plants your pond doesn’t have a majority of its personality. With the right plants in the right place, your pond is a jewel, without plants your pond is a water hole.
