Constructed in 1996 the Koi Pond is currently the smallest of the ponds but it is packed with water lilies and other plants and is teeming with fish. Water trickles down the waterfall to the delight of many birds. Frogs select their own lily pad or find a cool rock on which to await an unsuspecting bug.

Koi Pond

Willow Pond

Willow Pond is central to the gardens and presents access to differing views. Water lilies provide safety and shelter for the frogs and shoals of goldfish. A pair of kingfishers are frequent visitors to this pond.

Sundew Pond

Named for the native insectivorous plants colonizing on the south bank, Sundew Pond is the largest pond. It’s surface reflects the surrounding trees; the perfect spot to experience nature’s healing qualities.
