I am planning to put a pond in the garden. After digging out the
foundations for a large shed I have decided that I want to hire a
digger to create the hole. Does anyone have any advice on the
following....

What would you recommend at your top 'wouldn't be without' plants?[/i][/color]

Caltha palustris - Marsh marigold. Like huge buttercups early in the

Water forget-me-not - Marginal, or shallow water. Spreads well and blue
flowers over a long season.
Water hawthorn - shallowish water - not a native, but worth growing for
the scent.
