The pond's surrounding area was re-graded, and bioswales were incorporated to filter the water as it ran through the ground. Nitrogen fixing plants, mulch, and straw were all used in the process to allow the edible plants in the bioswale to reach their full potential.

In the coming year, this pond and surrounding property will grow even more beautiful. Hundreds of plants, including dozens of fruit-bearing trees and bushes, an edible scent garden, and ornamental plants will continue to be incorporated this summer.
