Most people think a pond means digging, liners, pumps, and a weekend you don't have. We're breaking down why a mini pond is the opposite of that, and what it does for your garden once it's in.In this episode of the Garden Girls Podcast, we talk through how we each built our DIY mini ponds, what we'd do differently, and why a few gallons of standing water changes who shows up in your yard. Pollinators, dragonflies, birds, and the occasional frog all start treating your garden like a destination.We also get into the part nobody warns you about: mosquitoes, algae, and what actually keeps a small pond balanced without constant fiddling.🎧 New podcast episodes every week.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-gir… us on Apple Podcasts:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-pod… us on Instagram:instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/all… Gardening:shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*
