The Poppy Garden’s New Pond Project

The Poppy Garden, a beloved local landmark, is undergoing a significant transformation. Gardeners have been hard at work, preparing a new pond area adjacent to the main garden. This ambitious project aims to enhance the garden’s beauty and promote biodiversity. * New Pond Area: The gardeners have dedicated a new section of the garden to create a pond. This addition will serve as a focal point, attracting visitors and providing a habitat for various aquatic species. * Pathways for Biodiversity: To further encourage biodiversity, the team is planning to introduce pathways throughout the garden.
