Water-Harvesting Fish Ponds

The pond is lushly planted with native bog plants: Dulichium (water bamboo), Pontederia (pickerel rush), and Saururus (lizard's tail). Also, non-native floating plants like water hyacinth and water lettuce help keep the water clear of algae by using nutrients for their own growth.
