Living on a Few Acres - Pond Management

Learn from UF/IFAS how to:

1. Prepare the edge of your pond for planting
2. Which plants to use, and how to plant them
3. How to test your pond for water quality determination

In addition, you'll learn why planting your pond is beneficial. Below are three examples:

Planting your pond leads to:

• Healthier fish
• Reduction of mosquitoes
• Increased sound quality (more birds) and pond aesthetic (butterflies/dragonflies, etc.)
• And more

Address for the Class is 85831 Miner Rd. We have a pond there with paved walking trail. Please bring a hat or sunscreen. We will use the teaching classroom for the initial portion of the class, then walk outside to look at the pond.
