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. |

Willow Pond |
|
Willow Pond is central to the gardens and presents
access to differing views. A waterfall and a fountain provide gentle audible
coolness. 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. |
