Those run-off ponds look beautiful and well thought out for their wildlife benefit. They seem so much better than the tokenistic efforts on the big new estates that have sprung up around Norwich.
Well, these are thirty years old, and the waterfall wouldn't get built today, probably. But I will say the city has done a fine job of naturalizing almost all its runoff ponds, which is not the case in every town here. Our city is dependent on ground water and they seem to have realized early that naturalization of the runoff ponds meant natural filtration and purification and fewer contaminants in the municipal wells.
Thank you Marian, for keeping us up to date with the comings and goings in your garden and beyond. I find the similarities and differences with the UK both equally fascinating. The music was, again, a group new to me. I enjoyed that track and will be searching out more, thank you for sharing.
