The Frog Pond
The hardest thing about the Druid Grove is finding time to work on it. We have been very busy this year, but we have gotten a few things done. Yesterday, I transplanted some Hardy Lilies from my home pond to the frog pond at Elfland. We have a few native plants in the pond now, including the wapato, a wetland tuber that was often used as food for Native Americans.
In just the few months we have had the pond, we have seen a large influx of dragonflies and damselflies on the property. Speaking of dragonflies, when I was putting the lily in the pond, I noticed brown casings all over the wapato. Turns out, they were all dragonfly casings! So in just a few months we are already adding to the ecosystem!
The pond is not as pretty as I want, but soon, I will get some stones to go around the edge and it will be as pretty as it is functional.
