Just gorgeous bright flowers. We’re buying a new house and I want to put in a wildlife pond and have a wildflower garden so I’m watching all your videos! Lots of great advice and encouragement, thank you!

Thanks for another great video. My husband and I have just completed a barrel pond, we watched your video and followed it all to the letter, even sourcing the same plants as you just to be on the safe side!! Husband will be very happy to add a marsh marigold as he loves them, we have one in our teeny tiny pond that he monitors daily!! Hope you are well and have a good BH weekend.

These look awesome and I wish I could grow them over here but alas they won't grow in the tropics. I have Amazon swords plants growing in my pond, and these are like in the old movie " Day of the Triffids"😆. They grow so quickly and throw shoots outside the pond and into the garden (if I let them they would be in the house too) but they leech all the nitrate from the pond which is a bonus. Great upload, Joel👍. Have a great weekend.

I've planted one up next to my wildlife pond, but not expecting much until next spring 👍😊

[klcpca]

These are native to my area also!! I'll need to keep an eye out for them!!

[wildlifegardener-tracey]

An essential to any wildlife pond or damp garden. 😊

The magpies stole the marsh marigold cuttings from my pond a few weeks ago, I've replanted some more but I suppose I'll have to wait another year for them to bloom

[elainesmith]

Thanks for the video Joel. My marsh marigold is stunning after being replaced in my new pond. How do you prune them once the flowers have finished please? Many thanks.

Joel do you have a wild your garden book? I cannot see one on your website.
I am new to all this and I am ignorant of previous discussions of a book so I apologize if you have already covered this info
